Woodhead Publishing Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials)

Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology, Third Edition provides an introduction and outline of the biomaterial-ocular surface interface, laying a broad foundation regarding materials, properties, tissue interaction, and design coverage. Subsequent sections systematically cover strategies for reconstruction before exploring other applications, as well as industry and clinical perspectives. In addition, detailed methods for the design and development of ophthalmic biomaterials are outlined, along with supporting industry and clinical case studies, to offer practical insights and allow for improved translation into research and therapeutics. The book is suitable for researchers, academics, and postgraduate students wanting to gain a deeper understanding. In addition, it may also be of interest to R&D groups developing novel ophthalmic biomaterials, as well as clinicians and ophthalmologists with an interest in biomaterials and regenerative strategies. Provides a fully revised edition, including thorough updates throughout and brand-new content on corneal and retinal reconstruction Systematically guides readers from core concepts and fundamentals on ophthalmic biomaterials development and reconstruction strategies to clinical and industry applications Utilizes key methods and case studies to facilitate translation into research and therapeutics
