It has been recognized that tissue engineering and regenerative medicine offers an alternative technique to whole organ and tissue transplantation for diseased, failed or malfunctioned organs. To reconstruct a new tissue by tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, triad components such as: cells which are harvested and dissociated from the donor tissue, scaffold substrates as biomaterials in which cells are attached and cultured resulting in the implantation at the desired site of the functioning tissue and growth factors which are promoting and/or preventing cell adhesion, proliferation, migration and differentiation by up-regulating or down-regulating the synthesis of protein, growth factors and receptors must be needed. This book concentrates on the intelligent scaffolds, associated biomaterials and manufacturing in terms of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, from basic principles to the most recent discoveries. The areas of focus include: ceramic and metal scaffold, intelligent hydrogel, electrospinning nanofiber, novel biomaterials for scaffold, novel fabrication methods for scaffold, and scaffolds for target organ. The book comprises theoretical, experimental, preclinical and clinical analysis of various properties of biomaterials, research methods and preparation techniques, and some promising applications.

About the Author:
"At long last, we now have a comprehensive source for intelligent scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Intelligent scaffolds have been called the ‘essential element of regenerative medicine,’ alongside the established aspects of cell biology and materials science, and upon which the future scientific breakthroughs will rest. Gilson Khang, a leader in the field, has partnered with other leading scientists in creating this book, which covers a wide range of materials and topics, from design and production to applications and functionality. This book is a must for the library of all individuals involved in the field."
―Prof. Anthony Atala - Wake Forest University, USA
"This book written by prominent experts in the field gives an excellent and timely introduction for those entering into the area of tissue engineering. Especially, it reviews many of the current techniques and materials for scaffold preparation. In addition, readers will also find it to be a good, up-to-date review that provides modern techniques for growth factor delivery, along with in vitro and in vivo outcome, to facilitate understanding the relationship between physiochemical structure and biological properties"
―Prof. Jöns Hilborn - Uppsala University, Sweden
"This book is a comprehensive treatment of the techniques and technologies required to develop scaffolds for regenerative medicine applications. The authors are some of the leaders in the field, and together these chapters provide up to date information on this very important area."
―Prof. Robert M. Nerem - Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
