Introduction

Functional Bio-based Materials for Regenerative Medicine: From Bench to Bedside explores the use of bio-based materials for the regeneration of tissues and organs. The book presents an edited collection of 28 topics in 2 parts focused on the translation of these materials from laboratory research (the bench) to practical applications in clinical settings (the bedside). Chapter authors highlight the significance of bio-based materials, such as hydrogels, scaffolds, and nanoparticles, in promoting tissue regeneration and wound healing.

Topics included in the book include:

- the properties of bio-based materials, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and the ability to mimic the native extracellular matrix.

- fabrication techniques and approaches for functional bio-based material design with desired characteristics like mechanical strength and porosity to promote cellular attachment, proliferation, and differentiation

- the incorporation of bioactive molecules, such as growth factors, into bio-based materials to enhance their regenerative potential.

- strategies for the controlled release of molecules to create a favorable microenvironment for tissue regeneration.

- the challenges and considerations involved in scaling up the production of bio-based materials, ensuring their safety and efficacy, and obtaining regulatory approval for clinical use

Part 1 covers techniques for tissue engineering, wound healing and skin engineering. It also presents reviews on techniques such as acellular synthesis and 3D bioprinting. Materials highlighted in this part include chitosan-based nanoparticles, nanocollagen-based materials and plant based composites.

Functional Bio-based Materials for Regenerative Medicine: From Bench to Bedside is a valuable reference for researchers in biomedical engineering, cell biology, and regenerative medicine who want to update their knowledge on current developments in the synthesis and application of functional biomaterials.

Audience

Researchers in biomedical engineering, biomedicine, pharmacology and nanomedicine

Foreword

I would like to congratulate all the authors who took their valuable time to contribute to the book titled “FUNCTIONAL BIO-BASED MATERIALS FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE from Bench to Bedside”. This book is a dedication to the founder of the Centre for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (CTERM), University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Prof. Dato’ Dr Ruszymah Hj. Idrus. It has been an honour to have been under her supervision and now expanding on our own across the continents through collaborating with talented, hardworking scientists in the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field on various state-of-the-art technologies and biobased materials used for the tissue-engineered skin, bone, heart, respiratory tract and other vital organs.

In this marvellously insightful book, the authors offer some valuable strategies, technologies and artificial intelligence in the established technology covering tissue engineering as an essential field for various health applications to help not only scientists, researchers and healthcare providers but also the general public to remain updated with the current work happening worldwide.
