This book presents regenerative strategies for the treatment of knee joint disabilities. The book is composed of four main sections totaling 19 chapters which review the current knowledge on the clinical management and preclinical regenerative strategies.

This volume focuses on the biomechanical modeling of biological tissues in the context of Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS). This is particularly new since most of the soft tissues models already proposed concern Computer Assisted Planning, with a pre-operative use of the models.

Pressure-related chronic wounds are an important health concern that affects millions of patients and accumulates billions in annual costs. The results allow a complete picture of the tolerance of human tissues to sustained loads, and an understanding of the risk for onset of chronic wounds.

The contributors to this volume bring together a unique blend of expertise in experimental, computational and tissue biomechanics relating to aneurysm behavior and enable the reader to gain a fresh understanding of key factors influencing aneurysm behavior and treatment.

Damage to the central nervous system resulting from pathological mechanical loading can occur as a result of trauma or disease.

One of the major challenges in tissue engineering is the translation of biological knowledge on complex cell and tissue behavior into a predictive and robust engineering process.

The focus of this book is on mechanical aspects of skeletal fragility related to aging and osteoporosis. Topics include: Age-related changes in trabecular structure and strength; age-related changes in cortical material properties; age-related changes in whole-bone structure; age-related changes in skeletal mechano responsiveness;

This book reviews the frontier of research and clinical applications of Patient Specific Modeling, and provides a state-of-the-art update as well as perspectives on future directions in this exciting field.

This book reviews the state-of-the-art in multiscale computer modeling, examining both its accomplishments and its challenges. Helps connect traditional biomedical engineering at the organ and tissue scale with cellular and molecular bioengineering.

Recent developments in stem cell biology have opened new directions in cell therapy.

Damage to the central nervous system resulting from pathological mechanical loading can occur as a result of trauma or disease.

In the area of vascular therapies, aspects covered relate to latest research in small-diameter tissue-regenerative vascular grafts, one of the greatest persisting challenges in cardiovascular therapies, stent grafts and endovascular stents for percutaneous arterial interventions.
