Biofabrication

Biofabrication is a practical guide to the novel, inherently cross-disciplinary scientific field that focuses on biomanufacturing processes and a related range of emerging technologies. These processes and technologies ultimately further the development of products that may involve living (cells and/or tissues) and nonliving (bio-supportive proteins, scaffolds) components. The book introduces readers to cell printing, patterning, assembling, 3D scaffold fabrication, cell/tissue-on-chips as a coherent micro-/nano-fabrication toolkit. Real-world examples illustrate how to apply biofabrication techniques in areas such as regenerative medicine, pharmaceuticals and tissue engineering.In addition to being a vital reference for scientists, engineers and technicians seeking to apply biofabrication techniques, this book also provides an insight into future developments in the field, and potential new applications.

生物制造是一个实用的指南，新的，固有的跨学科的科学领域，侧重于生物制造过程和相关的一系列新兴技术。这些过程和技术最终促进了可能涉及生物（细胞和/或组织）和非生物（生物支持蛋白、支架）成分的产品的开发。本书向读者介绍了细胞印刷、图案制作、组装、3D支架制作、芯片上的细胞/组织作为一个连贯的微/纳米制作工具包。现实世界的例子说明了如何在再生医学、制药和组织工程等领域应用生物制造技术。除了对寻求应用生物制造技术的科学家、工程师和技术人员提供重要参考外，本书还提供了对该领域未来发展和潜在新应用的深入了解。
