Biomaterials and Stem Cell Therapies for Biomedical Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials)

Biomaterials and Stem Cell Therapies for Biomedical Applications discusses the current research concepts and emerging technologies in the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering. Divided into four distinct sections, the book explores these state-of-the art technologies, opening with a description of stem cell technologies for biomedical applications before exploring biomaterials for biomedical applications, combinational approaches using stem cells and biomaterials, and finally, nanomedicine approaches for tissue regeneration. Topics include wound healing, tissue engineering, regenerative biomaterials, and stem cell treatments for wound healing and tissue regeneration. This concise and informative volume presents the latest developments in a highly informative and easy-to-read style. Covers a range of tissue types, such as neural and cardiovascular, as well as various biomaterials and scaffolds to help the reader match the most appropriate material/technique to the target tissue Provides the necessary background, definitions and applications of soft tissue regeneration, stem cell technologies, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and scaffolds in specific biomedical settings Brings together multiple disciplines with chapters written by leading scientists, engineers, and clinicians to explore vital new areas of research
