A significant portion of biomedical applications necessitates the
establishment of an interface between the cells of the patient and
the components of the device. In many cases, such as in implants
and engineered tissues, the interaction of the cells with the
biomaterial is one of the main determinants of the success of the
system. Cell and Material Interface: Advances in Tissue
Engineering, Biosensor, Implant, and Imaging Technologies explores
this interaction and its control at length scales ranging from the
nano to the macro. Featuring contributions from leading molecular
biologists, chemists, and material scientists, this authoritative
reference: Presents practical examples of cell and material
interface-based applications Reflects the interdisciplinary nature
of bioengineering, covering topics such as biosensing, immunology,
and controlled delivery Explains the role of the cell and material
interface in the context of cardiac and skin tissue engineering,
nanoparticles, natural polymers, and more Cell and Material
Interface: Advances in Tissue Engineering, Biosensor, Implant, and
Imaging Technologies addresses concepts essential to biomaterial
production methods and cell and material interactions. The book
provides a solid starting point for elucidating and exploiting the
different aspects of cellular interactions with materials for
biomedical engineering.
The interactions of the biomaterials with the host immune system is
crucial for their functionality. This book aims to provide the
reader with a better understanding of the role of the immune system
in biomaterial applications. For this end, the book has dedicated
chapters for i) explaining immune cells taking part in immune
response to biomaterials/immune systems interface; ii) the effect
of biomaterial shape, form and physicochemical properties on the
response of immune system; iii) biofilm formation on implanted
materials as a failure of immune system/biomaterial interactions;
iv) tissue-specific effects of immune response and its consequences
for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; v) immune
reaction in a clinical context (periodontology). In the field of
biomaterials there are significant advances in using
immunomodulation techniques to improve the success rates of
implantable materials. For better understanding of such techniques
it is required to have a full grasp of the biomaterial-immune
system interactions. This would greatly enhance the understanding
of why the human body reacts to implants in a certain way and how
to improve the clinical outcomes by developing immune-instructive
biomaterials. Provides keen insight into biomaterial-immune cell
interactions Presents an explanation of state-of-the-art
methodologies in immunomodulation Offers a concise and
simple-to-understand treatment of biomaterial-immune cell
interactions for materials scientists in a biology heavy topic
Explores a comprehensive overview of biomaterial related
complications Provides extensive references at the end of each
chapter to enhance study for this very hot research area
