Klappentext This book addresses concepts essential to biomaterial production methods and cell and material interactions. Featuring contributions from molecular biologists, chemists, and material scientists, the text reflects the interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering, covering topics such as biosensing, immunology, and controlled delivery. It explores the cell and material interface and its engineering at length scales ranging from the nano to the macro, providing practical examples. The book explains the role of the cell and material interface in the context of tissue engineering, nanoparticles, natural polymers, and more. Zusammenfassung A significant portion of biomedical applications necessitates the establishment of an interface between the cells of the patient and the components of the device. In many cases, such as in implants and engineered tissues, the interaction of the cells with the biomaterial is one of the main determinants of the success of the system. Cell and Material Interface: Advances in Tissue Engineering, Biosensor, Implant, and Imaging Technologies explores this interaction and its control at length scales ranging from the nano to the macro. Featuring contributions from leading molecular biologists, chemists, and material scientists, this authoritative reference: Presents practical examples of cell and material interface-based applications Reflects the interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering, covering topics such as biosensing, immunology, and controlled delivery Explains the role of the cell and material interface in the context of cardiac and skin tissue engineering, nanoparticles, natural polymers, and more Cell and Material Interface: Advances in Tissue Engineering, Biosensor, Implant, and Imaging Technologies addresses concepts essential to biomaterial production methods and cell and material interactions. The book provides a solid starting point for elucidating and exploiting the different aspects of cellular interactions with materials for biomedical engineering.
