3D-Printed Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

3D-Printed Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering: Emerging Technologies, Challenges and Future Directions

provides a comprehensive review of the application of 3D printing technologies in advancing regenerative medicine.

The book introduces the principles of tissue engineering and the essential role scaffolds play in supporting cell growth and tissue development.

It examines a wide range of materials, such as biocompatible polymers, ceramics, and composites, and highlights their applications in creating functional tissues.

A range of bioprinting methods is detailed, including extrusion-based printing, inkjet printing, and stereolithography, as well as practical design strategies for optimized scaffold performance.

Finally, applications in regenerative medicine are reviewed, covering key tissues such as bone, cartilage, skin, and organ; translational considerations are discussed to facilitate the transition from laboratory research to clinical applications.

3D-Printed Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering: Emerging Technologies, Challenges and Future Directions is of interest to researchers and academics in the fields of materials science, biomaterials, and tissue engineering, with an interest in the development and application of 3D printed scaffolds.
