This book will examine the relevant biological subjects involved in
biomimetic microengineering as well as the design and
implementation methods of such engineered microdevices.
Physiological topics covered include regeneration of complex
responses of our body on a cellular, tissue, organ, and inter-organ
level. Technological concepts in cell and tissue engineering, stem
cell biology, microbiology, biomechanics, materials science, micro-
and nanotechnology, and synthetic biology are highlighted to
increase understanding of the transdisciplinary methods used to
create the more complex, robust biomimetic engineered models. The
effectiveness of the new bioinspired microphysiological systems as
replacements for existing in vitro or in vivo models is explained
through sections that include the protocols to reconstitute
three-dimensional (3D) structures, recapitulate physiological
functions, and emulate the pathophysiology of human diseases. This
book will also discuss how researchers can discover bridge
technologies for disease modeling and personalized precision
medicine. Features Focuses on cutting edge technologies that enable
manipulation of living systems in a spatiotemporal manner.
Incorporates research on reverse engineering of comples
microenvironmental factors in human diseases. Highlights
technologies related to patient-specific personalized medicine and
their potential uses. Written by chapter authors who are highly
respected researchers in science and engineering. Includes
extensive references at the end of each chapter to enhance further
study. Hyun Jung Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of
Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. After
receiving hois Ph.D. degree at Yonsei University in the Republic of
Korea, he did extensive postdctoral research at both the University
of Chicago and the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. These
efforts resulted in cutting-edge breakthroughs in synthetic
microbial community research and organomimetic human Gut-on-a-Chip
microsystem. His research on Gut-on-a-Chip technology leads to the
creation of a microfluidic device that mimics the physiology and
pathology of the living human intestine. Since 2015, he has
explored novel human host-microbiome ecosystems to discover the
disease mechanism and new therapeutics in inflammatory bowel
disease and colorectal cancers at UT Austin. In collaboration with
clinicians, his lab is currently developing disease-oriented,
patient-specific models for the advancement in pharmaceutical and
clinical fields.
