Manual For Biomaterials/scaffold Fabrication Technology, A PDF
by Khang Gilson Khang, Kim Moon Suk Kim, Lee Hai Bang Lee
Part of the Manuals In Biomedical Research series
Description
Tissue engineering has been recognized as offering an alternative technique to whole-organ and tissue transplantation for diseased, failed, or malfunctioned organs.
To reconstruct a new tissue via tissue engineering, the following triad components are needed: (1) cells which are harvested and dissociated from the donor tissue; (2) biomaterials as scaffold substrates in which cells are attached and cultured, resulting in implantation at the desired site of the functioning tissue; and (3) growth factors which promote and/or prevent cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
Of these three key components, scaffolds play a critical role in tissue engineering.
This timely book focuses on the preparation and characterization of scaffold biomaterials for the application of tissue-engineered scaffolds.
More importantly, it serves as an experimental guidebook on the standardization of the fabrication process and characterization of scaffolding technology.
