This book focuses on both advances in materials science and in scaffold development techniques, paying close attention to state-of-the-art research. Each chapter will delve into specific materials categories (e.g. composite materials, bioactive ceramics, etc.) and how these materials are specifically designed for regenerative engineering applications. There will also be unique chapters on Biologically Derived Scaffolding along with 3-D Printing Technology for Regenerative Engineeering.

This cutting-edge comprehensive reference work details the technologies related to cell structure in the regeneration of tissue and organs. The focus of the first few chapters is related to what cells do (proliferation, migration, and differentiation/dedifferentiation), leading to the production of a population of regeneration-competent cells. The book then covers the information that tells cells where to go and what to make. This is the regeneration blueprint that tells the cells how to remake patterns and restore functions.

This book is comprehensive in nature with contributions by leading world experts in 3D bioprinting related to regenerative engineering. It includes history, incorporating the process and methods used in bioprinting. Significant sections will be reserved for the applications of the types of tissues generated by using bioprinting, along with an overview of different technologies used in bioprinting. In addition to equipment, the book also describes the different biomaterials and cells used in these approaches. Overall this is a book that includes both entry-level knowledge and advanced methods...
