Biomaterials and Stem Cell Therapies for Biomedical Applications discusses the current research concepts and emerging technologies in the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering. Divided into four distinct sections, the book explores these state-of-the art technologies, opening with a description of stem cell technologies for biomedical applications before exploring biomaterials for biomedical applications, combinational approaches using stem cells and biomaterials, and finally, nanomedicine approaches for tissue regeneration. Topics include wound healing, tissue engineering, regenerative biomaterials, and stem cell treatments for wound healing and tissue regeneration. This concise and informative volume presents the latest developments in a highly informative and easy-to-read style.

Authors
Deepti Singh Research Fellow, Michael Young's Lab, Schepens Eye Research Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA. Deepti Singh is a bioengneer who has been exploring the application of polymeric materials in restoring or repairing injured tissues and organs. With a Ph.D in genetics and biotechnology, she has worked extenisively for the last decade to develop functional biomimetic that can enhance differeniation of embyronic stem cells into desired linage. This book focuses on interesting and new aspects of biomaterial design and its applications. With the emergence of bio-ink, 3D printing could potentially change the entire apporach of regenerative medicine in which instead of restoring and repairing, the disease tissue can be replaced.
