Neural Engineering: From Advanced Biomaterials to 3D Fabrication Techniques pdf

Le laboratoire de bio-ingénierie du professeur Lijie Grace Zhang pour la nanomédecine et l'ingénierie tissulaire applique une gamme de technologies et d'approches interdisciplinaires en bio-impression 3D/4D, nanotechnologie, ingénierie tissulaire et administration de médicaments pour diverses applications biomédicales. Les principaux projets de recherche en cours comprennent : le développement de techniques avancées de bio-impression 3D/4D et la conception d'échafaudages nanostructurés d'inspiration biologique pour les régénérations complexes des tissus cardiovasculaires, neuronaux et musculo-squelettiques ; étude de l'influence des environnements nano et chimiques dans l'orientation des différenciations des cellules souches pour la médecine régénérative ; développer des formulations médicamenteuses soutenues pour une libération à long terme et contrôlée de médicaments sur les sites de la maladie ou du cancer ; développer un nouveau modèle tissulaire accordable en 3D pour l'étude des métastases cancéreuses ; et l'impression 4D de biorobotique douce pour des applications biomédicales.

Neural Engineering: From Advanced Biomaterials to 3D Fabrication Techniques pdf par Lijie Grace Zhang

This book covers the principles of advanced 3D fabrication techniques, stem cells and biomaterials for neural engineering. Renowned contributors cover topics such as neural tissue regeneration, peripheral and central nervous system repair, brain-machine interfaces and in vitro nervous system modeling. Within these areas, focus remains on exciting and emerging technologies such as highly developed neuroprostheses and the communication channels between the brain and prostheses, enabling technologies that are beneficial for development of therapeutic interventions, advanced fabrication techniques such as 3D bioprinting, photolithography, microfluidics, and subtractive fabrication, and the engineering of implantable neural grafts.There is a strong focus on stem cells and 3D bioprinting technologies throughout the book, including working with embryonic, fetal, neonatal, and adult stem cells and a variety of sophisticated 3D bioprinting methods for neural engineering applications. There is also a strong focus on biomaterials, including various conductive biomaterials and biomimetic nanomaterials such as carbon-based nanomaterials and engineered 3D nanofibrous scaffolds for neural tissue regeneration. Finally, two chapters on in vitro nervous system models are also included, which cover this topic in the context of studying physiology and pathology of the human nervous system, and for use in drug discovery research. This is an essential book for biomedical engineers, neuroscientists, neurophysiologists, and industry professionals.
