Bioprinting in Regenerative Medicine

Herausgegeben:Turksen, Kursad

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.

Autorenporträt

Kursad Turksen received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in the area of osteoprogenitor biology and cell selection methodologies. He then did postdoctoral training at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Chicago, studying epidermal biology through use of genetically-altered mouse models. He joined the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute [previously known as the Loeb Research Institute] where he rose to the position of Senior Scientist in the Division of Regenerative Medicine. His research interests focus on stem cell biology, with a particular interest in the Claudin family of tight junction proteins and their role in epidermal lineage commitment and progression during development in health and disease. Dr. Turksen is currently Editor in Chief of the Springer journal Stem Cell Reviews and Reports  in addition to serving as series editor for the  Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine.

Rezensionen

"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)
