Biomaterials for Artificial Organs
The worldwide demand for organ transplants far exceeds available donor organs. Consequently some patients die while waiting for a transplant. Synthetic alternatives are therefore imperative to improve the quality of, and in some cases, save, people's lives. Advances in biomaterials have generated a range of materials and devices for use either outside the body or through implantation to replace or assist functions which may have been lost through disease or injury. Biomaterials for Artificial Organs reviews the latest developments in biomaterials and investigates how they can be used to improve the quality and efficiency of artificial organs.…
