Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine: From Fundaments to Applications provides the reader with a comprehensive, concise and thoroughly up-to-date resource on the different types of hydrogels in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The book is divided into three main sections that describe biological activities and the structural and physicochemical properties of hydrogels, along with a wide range of applications, including their combination with emerging technologies. Written by a diverse range of international academics for professionals, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, this groundbreaking publication fills a gap in literature needed in the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field.
