ABSTRACT
The purpose of this book is to summarize key strategies and recent accomplishments in the area of developing cell/biomaterial constructs for regenerative medicine. The first section is a review of the state-of-the-art of biomaterial carriers and is divided into synthetic and natural materials. A subset of the latter are decellularized organs which retain the structure and some of the biological activities of the target organ. The bulk of the book is devoted to unique problems associated with key tissue and organ targets.
Key selling features:
- Describes developing cell/biomaterial constructs for regenerative medicine
- Reviews state-of-the-art of biomaterial carriers
- Summarizes the unique problems associated with key tissue and organ targets
- Discusses issues associated with clinical translation including quality control, manufacturing practices, nondestructive imaging, and animal models
