Bioprinting in Regenerative Medicine [Paperback]

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.
