Description

This book reviews the interface of stem cell biology and biomaterials for regenerative medicine. It presents the applications of biomaterials to support stem cell growth and regeneration. The book discusses the stem cell interactions’ with nanofiber, gradient biomaterial, polymer- and ceramic biomaterials, integrating top-down and bottom-up approaches, adhesive properties of stem cells on materials, cell-laden hydrogels, micro-and nanospheres, de-cellularization techniques, and use of porous scaffolds. Further, this book provides a basic introduction to the fabrication techniques for creating various biomaterials that can be used for stem cell differentiation. It also elucidates the properties of stem cells, their characteristic features, tissue culture technology, properties of pluripotency, osteogenesis, and biomaterial interaction with de-cellularized organs, cell lineage in vivo and in vitro, gene expression, embryonic development, and cell differentiation. Further, the book reviews the latest applications of bio-instructive scaffold for supporting stem cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. The book also presents stem cell for dental, alveolar bone and cardiac regeneration. Lastly, it introduces engineered stem cells for delivering small molecule therapeutics and their potential biomedical applications.
