Biomedical Materials and Biofabrication for Regenerative Medicine

Biomedical Materials and Biofabrication for Regenerative Medicine addresses the existing and future trends of tissue engineering approaches for regenerating various organs/tissues. This book brings together leading experts to explore the latest innovations and applications in this dynamic field. From biomaterials design to scaffold development to 3D bioprinting, each chapter delves into cutting-edge research and practical insights shaping the future of healthcare. This book also provides a comprehensive overview of the advanced technologies for tissue engineering approaches for both in vitro and in vivo functions, which includes possibilities, challenges, and future aspects of biofabrication. The book will serve as a valuable resource to bridge the gap between material science and clinical applications, offering insights for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in the future of regenerative therapies, and inspiring new ideas and collaboration in the quest to heal and regenerate human tissues.
