Biomaterials for Neural Tissue Engineering covers a range of materials and technologies used for regenerating or repairing neural tissue. With a strong focus on biomaterials and scaffolds, the book also examines the testing and evaluation pathway for in-vitro and in-vivo testing trials. This book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of the nervous system from a tissue engineering perspective, and goes on to describe contemporary technologies used in the development of neural repair materials, as well as currently available biomaterials suitable for neural tissue repair and regeneration. Biomaterials for Neural Tissue Engineering is a detailed reference for those who are new to using biomaterials in tissue engineering, with a particular interest in the nervous system; including academics and early career researchers in the fields of materials science, regenerative medicine, biomedical engineering and clinical sciences. Provides readers entering the field with a core introduction to neural tissue engineering processes and real-world applications Comprehensively examines a variety of biomaterial approaches Discusses the most current in-vitro and in-vivo testing and their importance of treating nervous system disorders Details a broad range of natural and synthetic biomaterials used to engineer neural tissue
