Download or read book A Tissue Regeneration Approach to Bone and Cartilage Repair written by Hala Zreiqat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviewing exhaustively the current state of the art of tissue engineering strategies for regenerating bones and joints through the use of biomaterials, growth factors and stem cells, along with an investigation of the interactions between biomaterials, bone cells, growth factors and added stem cells and how together skeletal tissues can be optimised, this book serves to highlight the importance of biomaterials composition, surface topography, architectural and mechanical properties in providing support for tissue regeneration. Maximizing reader insights into the importance of the interplay of these attributes with bone cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts) and cartilage cells (chondrocytes), this book also provides a detailed reference as to how key signalling pathways are activated. The contribution of growth factors to drive tissue regeneration and stem cell recruitment is discussed along with a review the potential and challenges of adult or embryonic mesenchymal stem cells to further enhance the formation of new bone and cartilage tissues. This book serves to demonstrate the interconnectedness of biomaterials, bone/cartilage cells, growth factors and stem cells in determining the regenerative process and thus the clinical outcome.

Download or read book Cartilage Repair and Regeneration written by Alessandro Rozim Zorzi and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the result of a partnership that began in 2011, when I received for the first time the invitation to be the scientific editor of a book on bone grafting, by the still little publisher known as InTech. Now six years later, InTech has grown and thrived. My respect and warm approval for the quality of the publisher's work only increased. The hyaline cartilage is a tissue that challenges tissue engineering and regenerative medicine because of its avascular nature. In the 11 chapters of this book, the reader will find texts written by researchers working on advanced topics related to basic laboratory research, as well as excellent reviews on the clinical use of currently available therapies.
Download or read book Tissue Engineering of Cartilage and Bone written by Gregory R. Bock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-07-22 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tissue engineering takes advantages of the combined use of cultured living cells and three-dimensional scaffolds to reconstruct adult tissues that are absent or malfunctioning. This book brings together scientists and clinicians working on a variety of approaches for regenerating of damaged or lost cartilage and bone to assess the progress of this dynamic field. In its early days, tissue engineering was driven by material scientists who designed novel bio-resorbable scaffolds on which to seed cells and grow tissues. This ground-breaking work generated high expectations, but there have been significant stumbling blocks holding back the widespread use of these techniques in the clinic. These challenges, and potential ways of overcoming them, are given thorough coverage in the discussions that follow each chapter. The key questions addressed in this book include the following. How good must cartilage repair be for it to be worthwhile? What is the best source of cells for tissue engineering of both bone and cartilage? Which are the most effective cell scaffolds? What are the best preclinical models for these technologies? And when it comes to clinical trials, what sort of outcome measures should be used? With contributions from some of the leading experts in this field, this timely publication will prove essential reading for anyone with an interest in the field of tissue engineering.

Download or read book Cell Engineering and Regeneration written by Heinz Redl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference work presents the origins of cells for tissue engineering and regeneration, including primary cells, tissue-specific stem cells, pluripotent stem cells and trans-differentiated or reprogrammed cells. There is particular emphasis on current understanding of tissue regeneration based on embryology and evolution studies, including mechanisms of amphibian regeneration. The book covers the use of autologous versus allogeneic cell sources, as well as various procedures used for cell isolation and cell pre-conditioning , such as cell sorting, biochemical and biophysical pre-conditioning, transfection and aggregation. It also presents cell modulation using growth factors, molecular factors, epigenetic approaches, changes in biophysical environment, cellular co-culture and other elements of the cellular microenvironment. The pathways of cell delivery are discussed with respect to specific clinical situations, including delivery of ex vivo manipulated cells via local and systemic routes, as well as activation and migration of endogenous reservoirs of reparative cells. The volume concludes with an in-depth discussion of the tracking of cells in vivo and their various regenerative activities inside the body, including differentiation, new tissue formation and actions on other cells by direct cell-to-cell communication and by secretion of biomolecules.
Download or read book Cartilage Tissue Engineering and Regeneration Techniques written by Dimitrios D. Nikolopoulos and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteochondral defects can be challenging to treat, first, because the damaged articular cartilage has a poor intrinsic reparative capability, and second, because these defects cause chronic pain and serious disability. That is why cartilage repair remains one of the most challenging issues of musculoskeletal medicine. Arthroscopic and open techniques that have been developed over the last two decades intend to promote the success of complete repair of the articular cartilage defects; nevertheless, these therapies cannot always offer 100% success. Nowadays, cartilage tissue engineering is an emerging technique for the regeneration of cartilage tissue. Taking into consideration these perspectives, this book aims to present a summary of cartilage tissue engineering, including development, recent progress, and major steps taken toward the regeneration of functional cartilage tissue. Special emphasis is placed on the role of stimulating factors, including growth factors, gene therapies, as well as scaffolds, including natural, synthetic, and nanostructured.

This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is Volume II of the article collection, Cells, Biomaterials, and Biophysical Stimuli for Bone, Cartilage, and Muscle Regeneration Over the last few years, a variety of tissue engineering strategies have been developed to improve the regeneration of bone, cartilage, and skeletal muscle. Numerous studies have proven that physical factors (external mechanical forces, and biomaterials’ features), as well as biochemical factors, may induce cells to reprogram their functions and dynamically adapt to the cellular microenvironment conditions. The advances in understanding the role of biophysical cues in the stem cells microenvironment point out the importance of their application in biomedicine and biotechnology to drive and modulate cell behavior for therapeutic purposes. In this context, many efforts are dedicated to design different strategies to engineer the physical aspects of the natural cellular microenvironment. The development of these technologies may be useful for identifying and studying the physical factors and help to clarify their downstream mechanisms to control cell behavior. This Research Topic will promote an overview of recent advances and cutting-edge approaches based on primary cells, stem cells, extracellular vesicles (EVs), biomaterial scaffolds, bioreactors, biophysical stimuli (e.g., mechanical forces, electromagnetic waves), and biochemical cues. All research involving one or more of the aforementioned cells and methods is welcome to elucidate new basic-research findings (e.g., molecular insights, biochemical pathways toward regeneration) and possible new clinical strategies (e.g., bioreactors for cell factories). An interdisciplinary design (e.g., biology/biochemistry plus bioengineering) is very welcome.
