Handbook of Artificial Tissues Volume I offers a comprehensive entry into the rapidly advancing field of artificial tissue development. Bridging fundamental biomedical engineering principles with emerging technologies, the book addresses growing needs in regenerative medicine, surgical simulation, and soft tissue replacement.
It provides a structured overview of materials, methods, and multidisciplinary design principles underlying artificial tissues. Key topics covered here include soft tissue biomechanics, biomaterials, hydrogels, polymers, biocomposites, nanotechnology, and 3D printing. This volume focuses on biofabrication techniques, multi-material modelling, and mechanical as well as biocompatibility evaluation. The book highlights real-world applications in surgical training, biomechanical testing, and medical device development, while also exploring advanced areas such as sensor-integrated systems and biohybrid tissue design. The book progresses from fundamental concepts such as tissue structure and imaging to material-specific approaches and advanced fabrication technologies, providing both theoretical grounding and practical insight.
This book is ideal for graduate students, early-career researchers, and professionals in biomedical engineering, biomaterials, and healthcare, offering a strong foundation for those working in tissue engineering, medical simulation, and next-generation biomimetic technologies.
