OverviewRather than approaching biomaterials science from just a materials science and engineering perspective, this book also covers the clinical side. The goal is to engage biomaterials engineers and physicians in a much-needed discussion that integrates both fields at many levels. The goal is to increase the rate of successful deployment of biomaterials, lower the side effects of such a deployment, and accumulate knowledge for improving current methodologies and meeting future challenges. Leading contributors address topics such as hemocompatibility, carcinogenesis, infections, cellular mechanisms, signal transduction, clinical trials, MEMS, nanotechnology, FDA regulations, and ethical issues.

Appendix: Some Examples of FDA-Approved Products.Reviews... offers a good overview of biomaterials as medical devices, drug delivery and tissue engineering systems. The emphasis is on integrating clinical and engineering approaches. In particular, the book covers various applications of biomaterials in unmet clinical needs in variety of fields ... covers areas such as regulatory challenges and commercialization issues. -From the Foreword by Robert Langer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, USA This book is essential when designing, developing and studying biomedical materials... provides an excellent review-from a patient, disease, and even genetic point of view-of materials engineering for the biomedical field. I found very interesting facts about patient study combined with clinical study of materials. This well presented book strongly insists on how the materials can influence patients, needs, the ultimate drive for biomedical engineering. Bring[s] a new ... very strong focus [on the] clinical point of view...[offers] a very interesting insight into biomedical engineering, where clinicians and engineers have to understand each other to provide specific solutions to the medical device field...[presents an] Interesting and innovative review from a patient focus perspective-the book emphasizes the importance of the patients, which is not often covered in other biomedical material,s books. -Fanny Raisin-Dadre, BioInteractions Ltd., Berkshire, England The success of current and emerging biomedical technologies centers on multiple factors including device design, host foreign body reaction to the biomaterial, regulatory reviews, market needs, and patient-centered factors such as co-morbidity and underlying pathologies. The later point needs to be further emphasized in biomaterial education and training. This book highlights these critical elements in carefully selected case studies that are relevant and up to date. The advancement of biomaterials and medical devices require a multidisciplinary team approach including clinical insights. Drs. Rosen, Elman, and Horowitz effectively brought these interwoven topics together in this well presented reference book. - W.
