Download or read book Myocardial Tissue Engineering written by Aldo R. Boccaccini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-29 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myocardial tissue engineering (MTE), a concept that intends to prolong patients’ life after cardiac damage by supporting or restoring heart function, is continuously improving. Common MTE strategies include an engineered ‘vehicle’, which may be a porous scaffold or a dense substrate or patch, made of either natural or synthetic polymeric materials. The function of the substrate is to aid transportation of cells into the diseased region of the heart and support their integration. This book, which contains chapters written by leading experts in MTE, gives a complete analysis of the area and presents the latest advances in the field. The chapters cover all relevant aspects of MTE strategies, including cell sources, specific TE techniques and biomaterials used. Many different cell types have been suggested for cell therapy in the framework of MTE, including autologous bone marrow-derived or cardiac progenitors, as well as embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells, each having their particular advantages and disadvantages. The book covers a complete range of biomaterials, examining different aspects of their application in MTE, such as biocompatibility with cardiac cells, mechanical capability and compatibility with the mechanical properties of the native myocardium as well as degradation behaviour in vivo and in vitro. Although a great deal of research is being carried out in the field, this book also addresses many questions that still remain unanswered and highlights those areas in which further research efforts are required. The book will also give an insight into clinical trials and possible novel cell sources for cell therapy in MTE.

Download or read book Smart Biomaterials written by Mitsuhiro Ebara and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive coverage of smart biomaterials and their potential applications, a field that is developing at a very rapid pace. Because smart biomaterials are an emerging class of biomaterials that respond to small changes in external stimuli with large discontinuous changes in their physical properties, they have been designed to act as an “on–off” switch for, among others, bio separation, immunoanalysis, drug delivery technologies, gene therapy, diagnostics, bio sensors and artificial muscles. After an introduction to the topic and the history of smart biomaterials, the author gives the reader an in-depth look at the properties, mechanics, and characterization of smart biomaterials including hydrogels, particles, assemblies, surfaces, fibers and conjugates. Information on the wide range of applications for these materials follows, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, diagnostics, biosensors, bio separation and actuators. In addition, recent advances in shape memory biomaterials as active components of medical devices are also presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract There is a tremendous need for muscle regeneration therapies to replace tissue that is lost due to disease or injury. This work is focused on developing engineered replacement therapies for lost or damaged skeletal and cardiovascular muscle tissue. In order to create viable, clinically relevant regenerative therapies, I have used recombinant protein technology to synthesize a family of protein-engineered biomaterials that incorporate critical cues for the recapitulation of in vivo muscle tissue conditions. Crucially, these biomaterials allow the independent tuning of multiple biomaterial properties including cell adhesivity, biomaterial stiffness, and topographical cues. Each of these biomaterial properties impacts muscle cell behavior independently as well as in concert. I have exploited the range of biomaterial tunability available to us to identify biomaterial conditions that enable production of striated muscle tissue using primary human skeletal muscle myoblasts (hMBs) that may be electrically paced. I have further demonstrated that mouse model skeletal muscle cell lines do not accurately recapitulate primary human myoblast behavior in response to biomaterial properties, particularly with respect to integrin-matrix interactions. Importantly, the expression of mature muscle markers that indicate muscle cell differentiation could be accelerated simply by changing biomaterial stiffness and introducing biomaterial microtopography. Finally, as demonstration that this protein-engineered biomaterial strategy may have application in the regeneration of myocardial as well as skeletal muscle tissue, cardiomyocytes derived from human embryonic stem cells exhibited good cell viability and improved contractility on these biomaterials. This thesis represents important advancements in the development of regenerative muscle tissue engineered constructs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maintaining quality of life in an ageing population is one of the great challenges of the 21st Century. This book summarises how this challenge is being met by multi-disciplinary developments of specialty biomaterials, devices, artificial organs and in-vitro growth of human cells as tissue engineered constructs. Biomaterials, Artificial Organs and Tissue Engineering is intended for use as a textbook in a one semester course for upper level BS, MS and Meng students. The 25 chapters are organized in five parts: Part one provides an introduction to living and man-made materials for the non-specialist; Part two is an overview of clinical applications of various biomaterials and devices; Part three summarises the bioengineering principles, materials and designs used in artificial organs; Part four presents the concepts, cell techniques, scaffold materials and applications of tissue engineering; Part five provides an overview of the complex socio-economic factors involved in technology based healthcare, including regulatory controls, technology transfer processes and ethical issues. Comprehensive introduction to living and man-made materials Looks at clinical applications of various biomaterials and devices Bioengineering principles, materials and designs used in artificial organs are summarised

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Situ Tissue Regeneration: Host Cell Recruitment and Biomaterial Design explores the body’s ability to mobilize endogenous stem cells to the site of injury and details the latest strategies developed for inducing and supporting the body’s own regenerating capacity. From the perspective of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, this book describes the mechanism of host cell recruitment, cell sourcing, cellular and molecular roles in cell differentiation, navigational cues and niche signals, and a tissue-specific smart biomaterial system that can be applied to a wide range of therapies. The work is divided into four sections to provide a thorough overview and helpful hints for future discoveries: endogenous cell sources; biochemical and physical cues; smart biomaterial development; and applications.
