This book offers readers cutting-edge research at the interface of polymer science and
engineering biomedical engineering materials science and biology. State-of-the-art
developments in microscale technologies for cell engineering applications are covered
including technologies relevant to both pluripotent and adult stem cells the immune system
and somatic cells of the animal and human origin.This book bridges the gap in the understanding
of engineering biology at multiple length scale including microenvironmental control
bioprocessing and tissue engineering in the areas of cardiac cartilage skeletal and
vascular tissues among others. This book also discusses unique emerging areas of
micropatterning and three-dimensional printing models of cellular engineering and contributes
to the better understanding of the role of biophysical factors in determining the cell fate.
Microscale Technologies for Cell Engineering is valuable for bioengineers biomaterial
scientists tissue engineers clinicians immunoengineers immunologists and stem cell
biologists as it offers a review of the current cutting-edge cell engineering research at
multiple length scale and will be valuable in developing new strategies for efficient scale-up
and clinical translation.
