Bioactive Materials for Soft Tissue Regeneration covers human tissue and its classification as hard tissue such as bone and soft tissue like skin, muscle, tendon, blood vessel, nerve etc., and including organs such as heart, liver, lung. Regenerative medicine deals with both hard tissue and soft tissue regeneration and is one of the most important part of the modern medicine with significant clinical needs including general surgery, plastic surgery, burn and wound healing, cardiovascular disease treatments. Based on the authors' previous research and review of the international advances in hard tissue regeneration, this book focuses on the hard tissue regeneration using bioactive materials. Sections cover biomaterials for entire human tissue regeneration, which is key important for research and development in the field of biomedical engineering and the medical device industry. Readers will find this to be a comprehensive review of the most updated advances of the research in bioactive materials for soft tissue repair and regeneration, along with perspectives for future directions of research and development in this field.
