Nano/Micro-Assisted Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine is an emerging multidisciplinary field that aims to repair and restore the normal functions of tissues and organs damaged by aging disease injury or congenital disorders. The basic concept of Nano/Micro-Assisted Regenerative Medicine is to use advanced nano/micro-technologies either alone or in combination with specific cells such as stem cells to replace enhance or regenerate damaged or diseased human tissues or organs.This book introduces promising applications of nano/micro-technologies such as iron oxide nanoparticles simvastatin-loaded porous microspheres graphene-RGD nanoisland composites bioreducible poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(amino ketal) micelles reduced graphene oxide-coated biphasic calcium phosphate bone graft material amorphous nano/micro polyphosphate cilostazol ophthalmic nanodispersions carbonic anhydrase-IX anchored albumin-paclitaxel nanoparticles peptide liposome incorporated citron extracts turmeric extract-loaded nanoemulsions and inkjet-printed nanofibrous membrane in different tissue engineering or cancer treatment applications. In addition it provides strategies for the further development of this field.
