关于此电子书

Cell-Derived Matrices, Part A, Volume 156, provides a detailed description and step-by-step methods surrounding the use of three-dimensional cell-derived matrices for tissue engineering applications. Biochemical, biophysical and cell biological approaches are presented, along with sample results. Specific chapters cover Anisotropic cell-derived matrices with controlled 3D architecture, Generation of functional fluorescently-labelled cell-derived matrices by means of genetically-modified fibroblasts, Bi-layered cell-derived matrices, Engineering clinically-relevant cell-derived matrices using primary fibroblasts, Decellularized matrices for bioprinting applications, and much more. - Contains contributions from leading experts in the field from across the globe - Covers a wide array of topics on the use of cell-derived matrices for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications - Includes relevant, analysis-based topics, such as quantification of the mechanical properties, decellularization protocols, and innovative matrix engineering methods

作者简介

Dr. David Caballero is a senior Research Associate at the 3B’s Research Group, I3Bs – Institute for Biomaterials, Biodegradables and Biomimetics at University of Minho (Portugal). Dr. Caballero has broad experience in the fields of biophysics, bioengineering, microfluidics, and nanotechnology. His main research interests include the development of novel bioengineered in vitro models to study the mechanistic determinants of cancer cell invasion. Currently, Dr. Caballero work focuses in the development of innovative multi-organ-on-chip tumor models using engineered native-like 3D biomaterials for drug screening applications.

Subhas C. Kundu, PhD, is a Research Coordinator and former European Research Area Chair and Professor at the 3B ́s Research Group, I3Bs – Institute on Biomaterials, Biodegradables and Biomimetics of the University of Minho, Portugal. His research interests include silk biomaterial matrices for biomedical applications, including 3D in vitro cancer models for investigating tumour growth and progression. In addition, he is using natural-based biomaterials for 3D cancer modelling and drug screening.

Dr. Rui Reis is Vice-President for Research and Innovation of University of Minho, Portugal, Director of 3B’s Research Group and Director of ICVS/3B ́s Associate Laboratory, both of UMinho. He’s the CEO of the European Institute of Excellence on Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, the Coordinator of the Discoveries Centre for Regenerative and Precision Medicine, the Global Past-President of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society and the Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. He’s edited 18 books, 10 special issue journals, 280 book chapters and has more than 1225 published works listed on ISI Web of Knowledge, being an inventor of around 70 patents. He’s been awarded many important international prizes, including the TERMIS-EU contributions to the literature Award and the TERMIS-EU Career Achievement Award, and recently the UNESCO- International Life Sciences Award and the IET A. F. Harvey Engineering Research Prize.
