Regenerative Engineering Edited by
Cato T. Laurencin and Yusuf Khan University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, USA
Traditional approaches to tissue repair involve tissue engineering, in which cells and biodegradable scaffolds are combined to repair damaged or diseased tissue. This method has been in use for almost 20 years, but more recently, the field of regenerative medicine—which involves the regeneration of damaged tissue and organs through the use of stem cells and cytokines—has emerged and is gaining momentum. The influx of these innovative approaches to tissue regeneration and repair has necessitated a re-examination of the available teaching tools for undergraduate and graduate students. Both tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have been taught at the undergraduate and graduate level through a varied selection of approaches, using an ever-widening spectrum of textbooks. Given the similarity between the two fields, it is important to examine where each approach overlaps and where each differs. Regenerative engineering is at the core of this overlap and distinction. It is the intersection of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering—where regenerative medicine focuses on the biological aspects of tissue regeneration via stem cells, factors, and cytokines, and tissue engineering focuses on the integration of materials science and life science. The challenge to future researchers is to understand both the research and the application of ideas to real-world problems. Regenerative Engineering provides a framework and a strategy through which future researchers can be educated in this direction. With introductory chapters in materials science and life science, the book uses a combination of fundamental lecture-based teaching and problem-based learning approaches that help develop students into future researchers capable of completing the translation of their work from the lab to the operating room. Using a similar structure in each chapter to provide continuity throughout the text, the book is enhanced with examples, case studies on clinically relevant issues, and extensive references to facilitate learning and encourage further study. Contents: Introduction Basic Cell Biology Morphogenesis and Developmental Biology Basic Anatomy and Physiology Basic Materials Science Biomaterials Introduction to Regenerative Engineering Organ Regenerative Engineering Cardiovascular Regenerative Engineering Musculoskeletal Regenerative Engineering Neural Regenerative Engineering

Bioprocessing Distillation Control, Optimization, and Tuning
New!
PAT Applied in Biopharmaceutical Process Development and Manufacturing
Fundamentals and Strategies
An Enabling Tool for Quality-by-Design
Lanny Robbins Larco Technologies LLC, Midland, Michigan, USA
Edited by
Emphasis on improved quality and performance of distilled products and the demand for reduced operating costs place a heavy burden on both the personnel responsible for profitability and the manufacturing department charged with operating the processing equipment. There have been dramatic improvements in the computer software and hardware used to simulate and model the distillation process and potential response to experimentation, but mastering the art of distillation process and control still requires solid understanding of a large body of information. With a focus on achieving product purity at low cost, Distillation Control, Optimization, and Tuning: Fundamentals and Strategies highlights core concepts. These include process variables for continuous binary distillation columns and the four basic control strategies, the distillate and bottoms product quality performance objectives, and the tuning of process control loops. Without dwelling on complex mathematical descriptions, the book presents the fundamentals of process control of a distillation column as a separation and purification unit operation. It covers the concepts and functional criteria that are critical to successful implementation of process control, as well as measurement and improvement of product quality performance. It describes how process control loops for distillation columns can be tuned for stable operation, with a balance between minimum variability from setpoint changes and excellent response to load disturbances.

Handbook of Nanoscience, Engineering, and Technology Third Edition Edited by
William A. Goddard III, Donald Brenner, Sergey E. Lyshevski, and Gerald J. Iafrate The first and second editions of the Handbook of Nanoscience, Engineering, and Technology, published in 2003 and 2008, exemplified the progress in nanoscience toward the vision put forward by Richard Feynman in his 1959 address, “There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom.” Feynman speculated about manipulating materials atom by atom, challenging the technical community “to find ways of manipulating and controlling things on a small scale.” Inspired by his vision, nanoscience is today defined as the manipulation and control of materials at the spatial scale of a few hundred angstroms (one-thousandth of the width of a human hair) or less. The extraordinary progress in nanoscience over the last decade now allows for the tailoring and combining of the physical, biological, and engineering properties of matter at the atomistic level of nature’s architectural building blocks. Critical to progress in nanoscience has been the stunning advances in synthesis, fabrication, and processing to achieve designed nanostructures complemented by nanoscale resolution tool development that allows characterization at the nanoscale. Simultaneous with these experimental advances, theory and simulation based on first principles has advanced from hundreds of atoms to the millions of atoms involved in a nanodevice of 20 nm dimensions. These developments now enable atomistic level tailoring and control of materials, setting the stage for the next revolution of nanoscale manufacturing where scalable technologies are used to manufacture large numbers of devices—each with complex functionalities. The visionary challenge put forth by Feynman in 1959 is well on its way to becoming a reality. As a testimonial to this reality, the first two editions of the Handbook included broad categories of innovative nanoscience, engineering, and technology emerging in the 2003 and 2008 timeframe. The Third Edition extends the portfolio further, including additional chapters on nanoenergy, electronic optics in graphene, metamaterials, nanomaterials for energy storage devices, photovoltaics, DNA devices and assembly, digital microfluidic lab-on-a-chip, and more. This edition also updates select chapters that appeared in the second edition. Selected Contents: There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom: An Invitation to Enter a New Fields of Physics Room at the Bottom, Plenty of Tyranny at the Top Twenty Years to Develop Nanotechnology: 2000-2020 Nanomagnet Logic Quantum Transport at the Nanoscale Spontaneous Emission of Bloch Oscillation Radiation in the Terahertz Regime Molecular and BioMolecular Processing: Solutions, Directions and Prospects Spin Field Effect Transistors: The Pros and the Cons Optical Behavior of Periodic Nanostructured Media: A Classical Electromagnetic (Mesoscopic) Approach Theory of Ballistic Electron Transport in n+–i–n+ Diodes: Properties in THz-Frequency Range.

In the last few decades, significant advances in the biology and engineering of stem cells have enabled progress in their clinical application to revascularization therapies. Some strategies involve the mobilization of endogenous stem cell populations, and others employ cell transplantation. However, both techniques have benefited from multidisciplinary efforts to create biomaterials and other biomedical tools that can improve and control the fate of stem cells and advance our understanding of them. Stem Cells and Revascularization Therapies focuses on the fundamentals and applied studies in stem cell biology and provides perspectives associated with the development of revascularization strategies. To help readers understand the multidisciplinary issues associated with this topic, the book has been divided into four sections: • Section 1: Explores how to define, isolate, and characterize various stem and progenitor cell populations for neovascularization • Section 2: Summarizes some especially useful model systems and approaches used to regulate angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, and arteriogenesis, and explores their impact on the formation of functional vessels in vivo • Section 3: Focuses on stem cell homing to sites of injury and inflammation, as well as strategies to exploit this mobilization phenomenon • Section 4: Covers stem cell transplantation topics, including recreating features of endogenous stem cell niches to maintain the multipotency of transplanted cells and combinatorial delivery of cells and molecular factors Intended to inspire new contributions to improve the therapeutic efficacy, this volume outlines emergent findings and challenges regarding the use of stem cells in revascularization therapies. Overcoming the significant hurdles to our understanding of stem cell biology will enhance their utility in promoting new blood vessel formation.

As technological advancements widen the scope of applications for biomicroelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS or biomicrosystems), the field continues to impact many aspects of life science operations and functionalities. Because BioMEMS research and development require the input of experts who use different technical languages and come from varying disciplines and backgrounds, scientists and students can avoid potential difficulties in communication and understanding only if they possess a skill set and understanding that enables them to work at the interface of engineering and biosciences.
Poised to dramatically impact human health, biomedical microsystems (bioMEMS) technologies incorporate various aspects from materials science, biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, and engineering. Reflecting the highly interdisciplinary nature of this area, Biomedical Microsystems covers the fundamentals of miniaturization, biomaterials, microfabrication, and nanotechnology, along with relevant applications.
Keeping this duality in mind throughout, BioMEMS: Science and Engineering Perspectives supports and expedites the multidisciplinary learning involved in the development of biomicrosystems. It starts with a balanced introduction of biological, engineering, application, and commercialization aspects of the field. With a focus on molecules of biological interest, the book explores the building blocks of cells and viruses. It also examines the molecules that form the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), linkers, and hydrogels used for making different surfaces biocompatible through functionalization. Because BioMEMS is an application-driven field, the book also highlights the concepts of lab-on-achip (LOC) and micro total analysis system (TAS), along with their pertinence to emerging point-ofcare (POC) and point-of-need (PON) applications.
