Computer-Aided Tissue Engineering

This volume details protocols encompassing different aspects of computer aided design and manufacturing of 3D scaffolds and biofabricated constructs for tissue engineering applications. Chapters are divided into four parts covering optimization of scaffold architectures for computer aided tissue engineering, synthetic routes to biomaterials compatible, technological platforms and manufacturing processes, and relevant applicative scenarios. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Computer-Aided Tissue Engineering: Methods and Protocols aims to be useful for new and experienced laboratory researchers working on different aspects of corneal regeneration.
