Book Description
This is the first time that human organs, such as the heart, liver, kidney, stomach, uterus, skin, lung, pancreas and breast can be manufactured automatically and precisely for clinical transplantation, drug screening and metabolism model establishment. Headed by Professor Xiaohong Wang (also the founder and director) in the Center of Organ Manufacturing, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tsinghua University, this group has focused on organ manufacturing for over ten years. A series of technical bottleneck problems, such as vascular and nerve system establishment in a construct, multiple cell types and material system incorporation, and stem cell sequential engagement, have been overcome one by one. Two technical approaches have been exploited extensively. One is multiple nozzle rapid prototyping (RP), additive manufacturing (AM), or three-dimension (3D) printing. The other is combined mold systems. More than 110 articles and 40 patents with a series of theories and practices have been published consequently. In the future, all the failed organs (including the brain) in the human body can be substituted easily like a small accessory part in a car. Everyone can get benefit from these techniques, which ultimately means that the lifespan of humans, therefore, can be greatly prolonged from this time point. This book examines the progress made in the field and the developments made by these researchers (and authors) in the field.

Book Description
This book focusses on the development of biomedical membranes and their applications for (bio)artificial organs. It covers the state of art and main challenges for applying synthetic membranes in these organs. It also highlights the importance of accomplishing an integration of engineering with biology and medicine to understand and manage the scientific, industrial, clinical and ethical aspects of these organs. The compendium consists of 11 chapters, written by world renowned experts in the fields of membrane technology, biomaterials science and technology, cell biology, medicine and engineering. Every chapter describes the clinical needs and the materials, membranes, and concepts required for the successful development of the (bio)artificial organs. This text is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in biomedical engineering, materials science and membrane science and technology, as well as, for professionals and researchers working in these fields.

Book Description
Membrane processes today play a signifi cant role in the replacement therapy for acute and chronic organ failure diseases. Current extracorporeal blood purifi cation and oxygenation devices employ membranes acting as selective barriers for the removal of endogeneous and exogeneous toxins and for gas exchange, respectively. Additionally, membrane technology offers new interesting opportunities for the design of bioartificial livers, pancreas, kidneys, lungs etc. This book reviews the latest developments in membrane systems for bioartificial organs and regenerative medicine, investigates how membrane technology can improve the quality and efficiency of biomedical devices, and highlights the design procedures for membrane materials covering the preparation, characterization, and sterilization steps as well as transport phenomena. The different strategies pursued for the development of membrane bioartifi cial organs, including crucial issues related to blood/cell-membrane interactions are described with the aim of opening new and exciting frontiers in the coming decades. The book is a valuable tool for tissue engineers, clinicians, biomaterials scientists, membranologists as well as biologists and biotechnologists. It is also a source of reference for students, academic and industrial researchers in the topic of biotechnology, biomedical engineering, materials science and medicine.

Book Description
This volume addresses the current status and future possibilities of bioartificial organs, highlighting biomedical applications. Contemporary and emerging approaches to the development of bioartificial organs are explored. Presentations are interdisciplinary: scientists from the fields of materials and polymer sciences, bioprocess engineering and clinical medicine who do not normally interact at a single conference were brought together to deliberate. Emphasis is placed on the pancreas, liver, skin and bone, although other tissues are also covered.

Book Description
The presentations in this volume, resulting from the 2nd International Conference on Bioartificial Organs, are divided almost equally among medical practitioners and surgeons, materials scientists and engineers; presenters came from industry, academia and governmental organizations. Sections are dedicated to specific diseases and organ replacements, such as the bioartificial pancreas (diabetes). Clinical trials on the bioartificial liver and skin are presented as are new developments in the craniofacial and cartilage areas. There is discussion on tissue sourcing (xeno-and allografts) as well as on the suitability of the proposed xenotransplantation for immunoisolation devices. Advances in genetically modified cells are also highlighted. Sessions on the molecular aspects of rejection prevention, on new biomaterials, and on processing complement the plenary medical- and technology-oriented themes. A panel discussion on scale-up and commercial implementation rounds out the volume.
