Biodegradable Systems In Tissue Engineering And Regenerative Medicine

Biodegradable Systems in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine by Rui L. Reis,Julio San Román

Conventional materials technology has yielded clear improvements in regenerative medicine. Ideally, however, a replacement material should mimic the living tissue mechanically, chemically, biologically and functionally. The use of tissue-engineered products based on novel biodegradable polymeric systems will lead to dramatic improvements in health

Biomedical Applications of Hydrogels Handbook by Raphael M. Ottenbrite,Kinam Park,Teruo Okano

Hydrogels are networks of polymer chains which can produce a colloidal gel containing over 99 per cent water. The superabsorbency and permeability of naturally occurring and synthetic hydrogels give this class of materials an amazing array of uses. These uses range from wound dressings and skin grafts to oxygen-permeable contact lenses
