Starting from a description of the main bioprinting technologies, the book addresses the most advanced approaches for the design of "on-demand" biomaterials suitable for incorporating biological components, along with the challenges associated with the development of a cellular model, and with the biological read-out. Coverage includes intelligent process design techniques, emerging technologies, and specific applications.
Written by a highly interdisciplinary team of authors and presenting a unified approach to bioprinting, this book is ideal for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in biotechnology, engineering, and physics, as well as industrial researchers interested in the applications of bioprinting.
- Presents the basic methodological aspects in common between different applications of bioprinting
- Covers the most advanced approaches, including novel technologies, printable chemical strategies for 3D biomaterials, multi-criteria bioinks evaluation, bioprinting for skeletal tissue regeneration, and disease modeling
- Provides protocols, global perspectives, and up-to-date techniques by leading experts in the field
