Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Repair Strategies (Woodhead Publishing in Biomaterials)

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Repair Strategies provides researchers the latest information on potential regenerative approaches to spinal cord injury, specifically focusing on therapeutic approaches that target regeneration, including cell therapies, controlled drug delivery systems, and biomaterials. Dr. Giuseppe Perale and Dr. Filippo Rossi lead a team of authoritative authors in academia and industry in this innovative reference on the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. This book presents all the information readers need to understand the current and potential array of techniques, materials, applications and their benefits for spinal cord repair.

• Covers current and future repair strategies for spinal cord injury repair
• Focuses on key research trends, clinics, biology and engineering
• Provides fundamentals on regenerative engineering and tissue engineering

Giuseppe Perale is currently Professor of Regenerative Medicine at the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Southern Switzerland (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland, and visiting Professor at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology in Vienna, Austria

Filippo Rossi is Associate Professor in Applied Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering “Giulio Natta” at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His research focused on innovative polymer materials for nanomedicine, drug delivery, biosensors, and tissue engineering, both experimental and modeling techniques.
