Advances in Material Design for Regenerative Medicine - Cindy Barron - Bog

Regenerative medicine refers to a field of medicine that develops methods to recreate, replace or fix injured or diseased cells, tissues or organs, without having to cope with immune complications and donor supply shortage. It involves the development and application of tissue engineering, therapeutic stem cells, as well as the creation of artificial organs. The development of materials is a crucial component of regenerative medicine. Materials play a significant role in various tissue repair and therapeutic processes, such as tissue scaffolds, decellularized tissue substitutes, and delivery systems. Regeneration effectiveness depends on the design and manufacture of materials with biocompatible, optimal structural, as well as physicochemical qualities. Regenerative medicine strategies rely on tissue engineering (TE), induced autoregeneration, and somatic cell treatment. This book strives to provide a fair idea about material design and helps develop a better understanding of the latest advances in their use for regenerative medicine. Those with an interest in this field would find it helpful.
