Detailingtechniques in wound healing and reconstruction, this reference describes the mechanisms and architecture of biological systems to formulate and design natural and synthetic compounds, degradable and non-degradable scaffolds, and targeted drug delivery devices. It offers strategies to control adhesive interactions, elicit specific cellular responses, and improve the biocompatibility, performance, and durability of prosthetic materials. Covering advances in the field, the book discusses the effect of topographical features on cell behaviors such as orientation, adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentation.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Biointerfacial strategies: the use of supported thin films of peptide amphiphiles as model systems of the extracellular matrix to study the effects of structure-function phenomena on cell adhesion; engineering of integrin-specific biomimetic surfaces to control cell adhesion and function. Tissue engineering: biomaterials - synthetic and engineering strategies; scaffolds for directing cellular responses and tissue formation. Targeted drug delivery: micropatterning biomimetic materials
