Electrospinning is a simple and  highly versatile method for generating ultrathin fibres with diameters  ranging from a few micrometres to tens of nanometres. Although most  commonly associated with textile manufacturing, recent research has  proved that the electrospinning technology can be used to create organ  components and repair damaged tissues. "Electrospinning for tissue regeneration"  provides a comprehensive overview of this innovative approach to tissue  repair and regeneration and examines how it is being employed within  the biomaterials sector. The book opens with an introduction to the fundamentals of  electrospinning. Chapters go on to discuss polymer chemistry, the  electrospinning process, conditions, control and regulatory issues. Part  two focuses specifically on electrospinning for tissue regeneration and  investigates its uses in bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, nerve, heart  valve, bladder, tracheal, dental and skin tissue regeneration before  concluding with a chapter on wound dressings. Part three explores  electrospinning for in vitro applications. Chapters discuss cell culture  systems for kidney, pancreatic and stem cell research.
