Sharma Chandra P. (ed.) Biointegration of Medical Implant Materials

2nd edition. — Woodhead Publishing, 2020. — 514 p. — (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials). — ISBN: 9780081026809.Biointegration of Medical Implant Materials, Second Edition, provides a unique and comprehensive review of recent techniques and research into material and tissue interaction and integration. New sections discuss soft tissue integration, with chapters on the biocompatibility of engineered stem cells, corneal tissue engineering, and vascular grafts. Other sections review tissue regeneration, inorganic nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery, alginate based drug delivery devices, and design considerations, with coverage of the biocompatibility of materials and their relevance to drug delivery and tissue engineering. With its distinguished editor and team of international contributors, this book is ideal for medical materials scientists and engineers in industry and academia.Biointegration: an introduction
