Tiwari Ashutosh, Garipcan Bora, Uzun Lokman (eds.) Advanced Surfaces for Stem Cell Research

Wiley-Scrivene Publishingr, 2017. — 473 p. — (Advanced Material Series) — ISBN: 978-1-119-24250-5The book outlines first the importance of Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM), which is a natural surface for most of cells. In the following chapters the influence of biological, chemical, mechanical, and physical properties of surfaces in micro and nano-scale on stem cell behavior are discussed including the mechanotransduction. Biomimetic and bioinspired approaches are highlighted for developing microenvironment of several tissues, and surface engineering applications are discussed in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and different type of biomaterials in various chapters of the book.Extracellular Matrix Proteins for Stem Cell Fate
