This volume presents the current state of laser-assisted bioprinting, a cutting edge tissue engineering technology. Nineteen chapters discuss the most recent developments in using this technology for engineering different types of tissue. Beginning with an overview, the discussion covers bioprinting in cell viability and pattern viability, tissue microfabrication to study cell proliferation, microenvironment for controlling stem cell fate, cell differentiation, zigzag cellular tubes, cartilage tissue engineering, osteogenesis, vessel substitutes, skin tissue and much more. Because bioprinting is on its way to becoming a dominant technology in tissue-engineering, Bioprinting in Regenerative Medicine is essential reading for those researching or working in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering or translational research. Those studying or working with stem cells who are interested in the development of the field will also find the information invaluable.

One of the first books to discuss the latest developments in laser-assisted bioprinting, rapidly becoming the dominant technology in tissue-engineering Provides an overview and comprehensive discussion ranging from more general topics such as cell viability and cell differentiation to specific tissue types like cartilage engineering, osteogenesis, etc. Contributors are internationally known experts in their fields and discuss recent advances, current challenges and future directions of the science Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Autorentext

Kursad Turksen received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in the area of osteoprogenitor biology and cell selection methodologies. He then did postdoctoral training at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Chicago, studying epidermal biology through use of genetically-altered mouse models. He joined the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute [previously known as the Loeb Research Institute] where he rose to the position of Senior Scientist in the Division of Regenerative Medicine. His research interests focus on stem cell biology, with a particular interest in the Claudin family of tight junction proteins and their role in epidermal lineage commitment and progression during development in health and disease.

Dr. Turksen is currently Editor in Chief of the Springer journal Stem Cell Reviews and Reports in addition to serving as series editor for the Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine.

Klappentext

This volume explores laser-assisted bioprinting, focusing on the most recent developments in its use for tissue engineering. Bringing together authoritative and international perspectives, the text begins with an overview and goes on to cover bioprinting in cell viability and pattern viability, tissue microfabrication to study cell proliferation, microenvironment for controlling stem cell fate, cell differentiation, zigzag cellular tubes, cartilage tissue engineering, osteogenesis, vessel substitutes, skin tissue and much more. Bioprinting is on its way to becoming a dominant technology in tissue-engineering; Bioprinting in Regenerative Medicine, from the bestselling Stem Cell Biology in Regenerative Medicine series, is essential reading for those researching or working in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, or translational research. Those studying or working with stem cells who are interested in the development of the field will also find the information invaluable.
