Description
Stem cells have attracted much attention in the fields of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering for their important role in the treatment of diseases. This is due to their unique properties such as their self-renewal capability and ability to differentiate into specific cell types. New research and therapies in these fields are mainly focused on a better understanding of the natural mechanisms of stem cells and the control and regulation of their behavior under in-vivo or in-vitro conditions.
Advanced Surfaces in Stem Cell Research first outlines the importance of Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) which is a natural surface for most of cells. Subsequent chapters discuss the following subjects:
• The superficial mechanical and physical properties of matrix microenvironment as stem cell fate regulator
• Effects of mechanotransduction on stem cell behavior
• Modulation of stem cells behavior through bioactive surfaces
• Influence of controlled micro and nanoengineered surfaces on stem cell fate
• Nanostructured polymeric surfaces for stem cells
• Laser surface modification techniques and stem cells applications
• Plasma polymer deposition: A versatile tool for stem cell research
• Application of bioreactor concept and modeling techniques in bone regeneration and augmentation treatments
• Substrates and surfaces for control of pluripotent stem cell fate and function
• Application of biopolymer-based, surface modified devices in transplant medicine and tissue engineering
• Silk as a natural biopolymer for tissue engineering.
