The most important materials in development for use in tissue engineering, replacement, and regeneration are based on polymers and on composites reinforced with bioactive ceramics. Approaching the topic in an integrated manner, Biodegradable Materials in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine presents an extensive description of biodegradable polymers used in medicine and explores their design, development, and processing. The authors discuss the performance of biodegradable systems and special requirements for evaluating their biocompatibility, including several methodologies for tailoring cell adhesion and proliferation on the surface of biodegradable polymers.
