About this title

Synopsis

Millions of patients suffer from end-stage organ failure or tissue loss annually, and the only solution might be organ and/or tissue transplantation. To avoid poor biocompatibility–related problems and donor organ shortage, however, around 20 years ago a new, hybridized method combining cells and biomaterials was introduced as an alternative to whole-organ and tissue transplantation for diseased, failing, or malfunctioning organs―regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. This handbook focuses on all aspects of intelligent scaffolds, from basic science to industry to clinical applications. Its 10 parts, illustrated throughout with excellent figures, cover stem cell engineering research, drug delivery systems, nanomaterials and nanodevices, and novel and natural biomaterials. The book can be used by advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students of stem cell and tissue engineering and researchers in macromolecular science, ceramics, metals for biomaterials, nanotechnology, chemistry, biology, and medicine, especially those interested in tissue engineering, stem cell engineering, and regenerative medicine.

About the Author

Gilson Khang is a professor at the Department of PolymerNano Science and Technology, Chonbuk National University (Korea) and a visiting professor at Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Zhejiang University (China) and the Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine (USA). Dr. Khang was elected as the founding Fellow of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (FTERM) in 2012. He is a member of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS) and a founding member of the TERMIS-AP chapter, of which he is also the continental chair since 2015. He is also an executive board member of TERMIS Global and since 2016 the TERMIS Global president-elect. From 2004 to 2009, Dr. Khang was editor-in-chief of Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. He has also served as co-editor-in-chief of International Journal of Tissue Regeneration, in addition to being on the editorial board of many reputed scientific journals. He has co-authored/edited 10 books and published around 550 original research papers and 200 editorials, reviews, and book chapters. His major scientific contribution has been to the analysis of natural/synthetic hybrid scaffolds to reduce host inflammation reactions, as well as the commercialization of tissue-engineered cartilage, bone, retinal pigment epithelium, and corneal endothelium.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
