Publisher's Synopsis
"Bioprinting - The Future of Transplantation Medicine" is a work that sheds light on the latest developments and perspectives in the field of 3D printing of tissues and organs. The authors explain the technological foundations of bioprinting and explain the key principles and techniques underlying this revolutionary method. The book provides a detailed introduction to the materials used, the printing technologies and the biophysical requirements necessary for the successful printing of biological tissue.
It also describes the many possible applications of bioprinting in modern medicine. This includes the production of simple tissue structures for research purposes as well as more complex organs that could be used for transplants in the near future. The book then looks at the challenges and limitations of bioprinting. It discusses the technical, ethical and regulatory hurdles that need to be overcome in order to realise the full benefits of this technology. Another chapter is dedicated to future prospects and innovations. It describes how future developments could further improve the efficiency and applicability of bioprinting. These include advances in materials science, new printing technologies and integrated bioreactor systems.
Finally, the book offers practical examples that illustrate the theoretical content and provide insights into current research projects and clinical applications. These examples illustrate how bioprinting is already being implemented in practice today and what potential applications are on the horizon.
