This volume explores laser-assisted bioprinting, focusing on the most recent developments in its use for tissue engineering. Bringing together authoritative and international perspectives, the text begins with an overview and goes on to cover bioprinting in cell viability and pattern viability, tissue microfabrication to study cell proliferation, microenvironment for controlling stem cell fate, cell differentiation, zigzag cellular tubes, cartilage tissue engineering, osteogenesis, vessel substitutes, skin tissue and much more. Bioprinting is on its way to becoming a dominant technology in tissue-engineering; Bioprinting in Regenerative Medicine, from the bestselling Stem Cell Biology in Regenerative Medicine series, is essential reading for those researching or working in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, or translational research. Those studying or working with stem cells who are interested in the development of the field will also find the information invaluable.
This volume presents the current state of laser-assisted bioprinting, a cutting edge tissue engineering technology. Nineteen chapters discuss the most recent developments in using this technology for engineering different types of tissue. Beginning with an overview, the discussion covers bioprinting in cell viability and pattern viability, tissue microfabrication to study cell proliferation, microenvironment for controlling stem cell fate, cell differentiation, zigzag cellular tubes, cartilage tissue engineering, osteogenesis, vessel substitutes, skin tissue and much more. Because bioprinting is on its way to becoming a dominant technology in tissue-engineering, Bioprinting in Regenerative Medicine is essential reading for those researching or working in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering or translational research. Those studying or working with stem cells who are interested in the development of the field will also find the information invaluable. One of the first books to discuss the latest developments in laser-assisted bioprinting, rapidly becoming the dominant technology in tissue-engineering Provides an overview and comprehensive discussion ranging from more general topics such as cell viability and cell differentiation to specific tissue types like cartilage engineering, osteogenesis, etc. Contributors are internationally known experts in their fields and discuss recent advances, current challenges and future directions of the science Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
“Bioprinting technologies entail several different aspects, ranging from biomedical to legal and regulatory aspects, nicely presented in the six chapters of this volume strongly recommended for both beginners and experienced colleagues. All the topics have been carefully selected to stress the important role that bioprinting is nowadays playing in the regenerative medicine field.” (Manuela Monti, European Journal of Histochemistry, Vol. 60, 2016)
