Produktbeschreibung

Biophysical and Chemical Properties of Collagen: Biomedical Applications provides an introduction to the biophysics and chemistry of collagen and its use as a biomedical material in the rapidly changing fields of biomedical device production, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Collagen has proved to be a safe and effective biomedical material. Clinicians have used collagen-based devices in a wide range of applications with successful patient outcomes. This book gives an understanding of how present devices work, how they could be improved, and the development of new devices where a knowledge of collagen structure, chemistry and biology is required. The purification of collagen materials and the fabrication of a range of collagen products and their applications are covered within. Current developments include recombinant collagen materials that provide further application opportunities.

Written by experts in the field, this text will be of interest for researchers as well as lecturers and students. The authors provide the reader with entry points to the broader literature, and to more recent papers, so that they can follow up and gain more detailed information on areas of particular interest.
