圖書名稱:Advanced Biomaterials for Biomedical Engineering (hardcover)
Biomedical engineering is the key technology of the 21st century. The possibility to exploit the structures and process of advanced materials for novel functional materials, biosensors, stem cells technology, regenerative medicine, drug delivery systems has created the rapidly growing field of biomaterials technology. Designed as a broad survey of the field, this book combines contributions from molecular biology, materials science and medicine to fathom the full scope of current and future developments.
It is divided into four main sections:
•Interface systems •Physiochemical properties •Structures of biomaterials •Medical applications
Each chapter describes in detail currently valuable methods and contains numerous references to the primary literature, making this the perfect “filed guide” for chemists, biologists and physicians who want to explore the fascinating world of biomedical engineering.

Biomaterials technology is one newly emerging biomedical form to create
new device and induce the regeneration of detective and injured body tissues
and organs as well as to substitute the biological functions of damaged
organs. To this end, the cells of high proliferation and differentiation potentials are used with being combined with some cell scaffolds and the biological signals of growth factor and gene. Since there are some cases in which cells are genetically innovated to produce the growth factors inducible angiogenesis and tissue regeneration, the technology of gene delivery is also necessary for tissue engineering. Current developments in the technological fields of biomedical and tissue engineering, bioengineering, biomechanics, microfabrication and microfluidics have lead to highly complex and pertinent new tools for
in vitro and in vivo applications. The purpose of biomaterials technology is to mimic organ tissues in vitro in order to partially reduce the amount of in vivo testing. These types of systems can enhance functionality of cells by mimicking the tissue architecture complexities when compared to in vitro analysis but at the same time present a more rapid and simple process when compared to in vivo testing procedures. The development of new technology for analysis of engineered tissues can be achieved through the combination of these research domains. Combining these advanced research domains, we then present new area of technology that allows analysis in vitro on engineered tissues. An extension of the biomaterials technology has also allowed tissue and organs development, which can be considered as a first step towards the replacement of animal testing using a combined organ model.
Nowadays, pharmaceutical technology and research for new drugs and
formulations is of great importance, as scientists attempt to discover even
more revolutionary and efficient methods to treat various diseases. At the
same time the correct dosing and the side targeting are equally important for
clinical success. Research in sustained drug release systems is very promising towards such direction, while it offers advantages and potential rewards contrary to the traditional therapy. The drug plasma concentrations remain inside the therapeutic range for a longer time period, compared to the conventional formulations. In addition, sustained release formulations may increase the likelihood for the patient to respond to therapy, since drug formulations are generally characterized as once- daily given dose. The rate at which a drug is released from a sustained-release formulation is dependable upon many factors while excipients play the most important role. Most of sustained release formulations are based on biodegradable polymers in the form of a drugencapsulating matrix or membrane. Examples range from monolithic devices, polymer-coated capsules and implant devices, hydrogels, to injectable systems based on suspensions of micro-, nanospheres or polymer solutions. The advantages and disadvantages of these different formulation systems are being extensively discussed in this book.
