An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions

An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions acquaints an undergraduate audience with the fundamental biological processes that influence these sophisticated, cutting-edge procedures. Chapters one through three provide more detail about the molecular-level events that happen at the tissue-implant interface, while chapters four through ten explore selected material, biological, and physiological consequences of these events. The importance of the body’s wound-healing response is emphasized throughout. Specific topics covered include:Structure and properties of biomaterials
Proteins
Protein-surface interactions
Blood-biomaterial interactions
Inflammation and infection
The immune system
Biomaterial responses to implantation
Biomaterial surface engineering
Intimal hyperplasia and osseointegration as examples of tissue-biomaterial interactions
