Silk-Based Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering, Regenerative and Precision Medicine (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials), 2nd Edition

By Subhas C. Kundu, Rui L. Reis Silk-based Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering, Regenerative and Precision Medicine, Second Edition is a must-have reference, providing comprehensive coverage of silk-based biomaterials and their importance in translational uses and biomedicine. This new edition considers the progress made in the past eight years, featuring many new chapters, including a discussion of cutting-edge fabrication methods and techniques, new and improved blends/composites, and an expanded range of applications in tissue engineering, regenerative and precision medicine. The book holistically reviews the types, structure and properties, processing methods, and specific biomedical applications for silk-based biomaterials. This will be a vital resource for materials and tissue engineering scientists, R&D departments in industry and academia, and academics interested in biomaterials, regenerative, and precision medicine. Covers all key silk biomaterial types, including mulberry, Bombyx mori and nonmulberry/wild silk protein fibroins, sericins and spider silk, as well as their composite blends and various structures and scaffold platforms Describes the cutting-edge processing techniques for each silk type, from traditional to nonconventional methods, such as using ionic liquids and engineering nanofibers and other biomedical matrices Explores a range of applications in tissue engineering and regenerative and precision medicine, including bioprinting, bioelectronics and medical devices Product Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Woodhead Publishing; 2nd edition (December 25, 2023) Language ‏ : ‎ English Paperback ‏ : ‎ 906 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0323960170 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0323960175
