ISBN: 9780878491537 出版年：2010 页码：206 Trans Tech Publications Ltd

The aim of “Biomaterials for Bone Regenerative Medicine” is to review extensively the latest developments in Biomaterials and their application to bone regeneration in vivo. Indeed, research on biomaterials and their novel applications is essential because of the health issues related to the aging population. A wide range of worldwide investigations is being undertaken by eminent scholars in order to develop further innovative materials for next-generation applications. In future, it is expected that a tissue engineering approach, associating novel biomaterials with stem cells, will be available for all types of bone defect.This book is the result of a collaborations between active research groups having expertise in the hottest field of bone-tissue regeneration and reconstruction. It concisely covers materials ranging from the nano-scale to the macroscopic, and offers a comprehensive description of the subject for newcomers, as well as for professionals who may be somewhat unfamiliar with the ceramic aspects of the applications.
