Biomaterials science series.: (Biofabrication and 3D tissue modeling) - Volume 3,

3D tissue modelling is an emerging field used for the investigation of disease mechanisms and drug development.

The two key drivers of this upsurge in research lie in its potential to offer a way to reduce animal testing with respect to biotoxicity analysis, preferably on physiology recapitulated human tissues and, additionally, it provides an alternative approach to regenerative medicine.

Integrating physics, chemistry, materials science, and stem cell and biomedical engineering, this book provides a complete foundation to this exciting, and interdisciplinary field.
