Host Response to Biomaterials Summary

Host Response to Biomaterials: The Impact of Host Response on Biomaterial Selection by Stephen F. Badylak (Professor in the Departments of Surgery and BioEngineering, University of Pittsburgh Deputy Director of McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA)

Host Response to Biomaterials: The Impact of Host Response on Biomaterial Selection explains the various categories of biomaterials and their significance for clinical applications, focusing on the host response to each biomaterial. It is one of the first books to connect immunology and biomaterials with regard to host response. The text also explores the role of the immune system in host response, and covers the regulatory environment for biomaterials, along with the benefits of synthetic versus natural biomaterials, and the transition from simple to complex biomaterial solutions. Fields covered include, but are not limited to, orthopaedic surgery, dentistry, general surgery, neurosurgery, urology, and regenerative medicine.

About Stephen F. Badylak (Professor in the Departments of Surgery and BioEngineering, University of Pittsburgh Deputy Director of McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA)

Dr. Badylak is Professor in the Departments of Surgery and BioEngineering at the University of Pittsburgh and Deputy Director of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. The focus of Dr. Badylak's work has been the mechanisms by which extracellular matrix signals host tissues to promote and support functional tissue reconstruction.
