A Complex and Growing Field The study of vascularization in tissue
engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) and its applications
is an emerging field that could revolutionize medical approaches
for organ and tissue replacement, reconstruction, and regeneration.
Designed specifically for researchers in TERM fields,
Vascularization: Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering
provides a broad overview of vascularization in TERM applications.
This text summarizes research in several areas, and includes
contributions from leading experts in the field. It defines the
difficulties associated with multicellular processes in
vascularization and cell-source issues. It presents advanced
biomaterial design strategies for control of vascular network
formation and in silico models designed to provide insight not
possible in experimental systems. It also examines imaging methods
that are critical to understanding vascularization in engineered
tissues, and addresses vascularization issues within the context of
specific tissue applications. This text is divided into three
parts; the first section focuses on the basics of vascularization.
The second section provides general approaches for promoting
vascularization. The final section presents tissue and
organ-specific aspects of vascularization in regenerative medicine.
Presents Areas of Substantial Clinical and Societal Impact The
material contains research and science on the process of vessel
assembly with an emphasis on methods for controlling the process
for therapeutic applications. It describes the tissue and
organ-specific aspects of vascularization in regenerative medicine,
and refers to areas such as bone tissue engineering,
vascularization of encapsulated cells, adipose tissue, bone and
muscle engineering. It also provides a mechanistic understanding of
the process and presentation of experimental and computational
approaches that facilitate the study of vascular assembly, and
includes enabling technologies such as nanotechnology, drug
delivery, stem cells, microfluidics, and biomaterial design that
are optimized for supporting the formation of extensive vascular
networks in regenerative medicine. A guide for researchers
developing new methods for modulating vessel assembly, this text
can also be used by senior undergraduate and graduate students
taking courses focused on TERM.
