Cutting-Edge Enabling Technologies for Regenerative Medicine

This book explores in depth the latest enabling technologies for regenerative medicine. The opening section examines advances in 3D bioprinting and the fabrication of electrospun and electrosprayed scaffolds. The potential applications of intelligent nanocomposites are then considered, covering, for example, graphene-based nanocomposites, intrinsically conductive polymer nanocomposites, and smart diagnostic contact lens systems. The third section is devoted to various drug delivery systems and strategies for regenerative medicine. Finally, a wide range of future enabling technologies are discussed. Examples include temperature-responsive cell culture surfaces, nanopatterned scaffolds for neural tissue engineering, and process system engineering methodologies for application in tissue development. This is one of two books to be based on contributions from leading experts that were delivered at the 2018 Asia University Symposium on Biomedical Engineering in Seoul, Korea the companion book examines in depth novel biomaterials for regenerative medicine.

Discusses in detail a wide range of new and emerging enabling technologies for regenerative medicine Reviews areas such as 3D bioprinting, electrospinning, intelligent nanocomposites, and drug delivery systems Provides stimulating ideas for future research in the ever more important field of biomedical engineering
