Stem Cell and Tissue Engineering : Bone, Cartilage and Associated Joint Tissue Defects

This book covers conventional clinical treatment methods for handling bone, cartilage, and related disorders along with their limitations and highlights the current state of art of tissue engineering as an alternative for regenerating defective tissue. Potential biomimetic scaffolding materials and their desired properties, modifications, optimizations, and interactions are described. It reviews the design, development, characterization, properties, and biological functions of biomaterials, various bioreactor systems, and involved translational challenges. Features: Discusses the key aspects of generating engineered bone, cartilage, and associated tissues. Covers integration of stem cells and biomaterials including assessment of tissue graft, and translational strategy. Reviews multiple engineering principles involved in the various stages of developing biomaterials and scaffold. Explores key factors influencing tissue graft generation and challenges involved in various stages. Includes several exercises including review questions, numerical problems, for better understanding of the subject. This book is aimed at researchers, students, professionals in biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, biomaterials, and orthopaedics.
