Cellular response to biomaterials
(ISBN 978-1-84569-358-9)
The response of cells to biomaterials is critical in medical devices. It has been realised
that specific cell responses may be beneficial, encouraging adhesion, healing or cell
multiplication. Cellular response to biomaterials will discuss the response of cells to a
wide range of materials, targeted at specific medical applications. Chapters in the first
section review cellular response to polymers and ceramics. A second group of chapters
discusses cell responses and regenerative medicine for nerves, muscles and orthopaedic
materials. Concluding chapters analyse the effect of surface chemistry and how it can be
manipulated to provoke a useful cell response.
Tissue engineering using ceramics and polymers
(ISBN 978-1-84569-176-9)
Tissue engineering is a rapidly developing technique for the repair and regeneration of
diseased tissue in the body. This authoritative and wide-ranging book reviews how
ceramic and polymeric biomaterials are being used in tissue engineering. The first part of
the book reviews the nature of ceramics and polymers as biomaterials together with
techniques for using them such as building tissue scaffolds, transplantation techniques,
surface modification and ways of combining tissue engineering with drug delivery and
biosensor systems. The second part of the book discusses the regeneration of particular
types of tissue, ranging from bone, cardiac and intervertebral disc tissue to skin, liver,
kidney and lung tissue.
Advanced textiles for wound care
(ISBN 978-1-84569-271-1)
The medical sector is an important and growing area of the textile industry. The extent of
the growth is due to constant improvements in both textile technology and medical
procedures. This collection provides a detailed review of how textiles are incorporated
into wound care applications. The introductory chapters provide an overview for the
industry and explain the functional requirements of wound care materials. The second
group of chapters details the various types of textiles available for different wounds.
