Regenerative Engineering Edited by
Joyce Y. Wong
Cato T. Laurencin and Yusuf Khan
Boston University, Massachusetts, USA
University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, USA
Joseph D. Bronzino
Regenerative engineering is the intersection of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Regenerative medicine focuses on the biological aspects of tissue regeneration via stem cells, factors, and cytokines, while tissue engineering focuses on the integration of materials science and life sciences. This book integrates these two areas, presenting each concept in the framework of regenerative engineering. Through the combination of fundamental lecture-based teaching and problem-based learning approaches, it is the goal of this textbook to develop students into future researchers capable of completing the translation of their work from the benchtop to the bedside.

Most current applications of biomaterials involve structural functions, even in those organs and systems which are not primarily structural in their nature, or very simple chemical or electrical functions. Complex chemical functions such as those of the liver and complex electrical or electrochemical functions such as those of the brain and sense organs cannot be carried out by biomaterials at this time. With these basic concepts in mind, this book focuses on biomaterials consisting of different materials such as metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite. Catalog no.

BioMEMS
Covering often overlooked areas in the field of bioMEMS, this volume spans topics associated with biomolecules and complex biological entities, as well as subjects directly linked to the design, fabrication, and characterization of devices. Unlike other references, this text aids in the fundamental physicochemical understanding of biological processes relevant to the performance of various biosensing devices. Useful for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in engineering programs, the book includes problems in each chapter, in addition to case studies that provide real-life examples.

Biomedical Microsystems Ellis Meng University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA
Written by an active researcher named one of Technology Review’s Young Innovators Under 35, this book begins with an introduction to the benefits of miniaturization. It introduces materials, fabrication technology, and the necessary components of all bioMEMS. The author covers fundamental principles and building blocks, including microfluidic concepts, lab-on-a-chip systems, and sensing and detection methods. The final chapters explore several important applications of bioMEMS, such as microdialysis, catheter-based sensors, MEMS implants, neural probes, and tissue engineering. Detailed examples, exercises, and illustrations help clarify the concepts. Catalog no. 51229, September 2010, 408 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-5122-3, $99.95 / £62.99 Also available as an eBook
Thoroughly revised and updated, this perennial bestseller lays the foundation for comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of MEMS and NEMS. Expanded to three volumes to reflect substantial growth in the field, the first volume offers a rigorous theoretical treatment of micro- and nanosciences, and includes sections on solid-state physics, quantum mechanics, crystallography, and fluidics. The second volume presents a very large set of manufacturing techniques for micro- and nanofabrication and covers different forms of lithography, material removal processes, and additive technologies. The third volume focuses on manufacturing techniques and applications of Bio-MEMS and Bio-NEMS. Illustrated in color throughout, this seminal work also provides a cogent instructional text, supplying classroom and self-learners with worked-out examples and end-ofchapter problems. The author characterizes and defines major research areas and illustrates them with examples culled from the most recent literature and from his own work.
