Advanced 3D-Printed Systems and Nanosystems for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering explores the intricacies of nanostructures and 3D printed systems in terms of their design as drug delivery or tissue engineering devices, their further evaluations and diverse applications. The book highlights the most recent advances in both nanosystems and 3D-printed systems for both drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. It discusses the convergence of biofabrication with nanotechnology, constructing a directional customizable biomaterial arrangement for promoting tissue regeneration, combined with the potential for controlled bioactive delivery. These discussions provide a new viewpoint for both biomaterials scientists and pharmaceutical scientists.
- Shows how nanotechnology and 3D printing are being used to create systems which are intelligent, biomimetic and customizable to the patient
- Explores the current generation of nanostructured 3D printed medical devices
- Assesses the major challenges of using 3D printed nanosystems for the manufacture of new pharmaceuticals
