SPRINGERBRIEFS IN MATERIALS COMPOSITE SYNTHET...

This book addresses important biomaterials which are commonly used to fabricate scaffolds and
it describes two major protocols employed in scaffold fabrication. Tissue engineering or
regenerative medicine aims at restoring ex-novo tissues and organs whose functionality has been
compromised as a consequence of diseases or traumatic events. The innovative concept underlying
tissue engineering is the use of autologous cells  obtained from a biopsy of the patient. Cells
are seeded on a porous scaffold which has the role of supporting and guiding cells towards the
development of tissue-like structures as well as providing a platform for the delivery under
controlled condition of growth factor release  etc. The successful manufacture of scaffolds for
tissue engineering applications is crucial. In this book  these biomaterials are discussed. The
book also covers illustrated examples  structure and properties of scaffolds  cellular
interactions and drug delivery.
