معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
- Proteins
- Protein-surface interactions
- Blood-biomaterial interactions
- Inflammation and infection
- The immune system
- Biomaterial responses to implantation
- Biomaterial surface engineering
- Intimal hyperplasia and osseointegration as examples of tissue-biomaterial interactions
The text also provides extensive coverage of the three pertinent interfaces between the body and the biomaterial, between the body and the living cells, and between the cells and the biomaterial that are critical in the development of tissue-engineered products that incorporate living cells within a biomaterial matrix. Ideal for a one-semester, biomedical engineering course, An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions provides a solid framework for understanding today’s and tomorrow’s implantable biomedical devices.
