Hydrogel Tissue Analogues provides an overview of the critical role of novel hydrogels in tissue engineering and biomedicine. Structured into three parts, this book guides readers through the latest advances in hydrogel technology. Part one offers an in-depth look at state-of-the-art hydrogel processing, including biomimetic strategies and ground-breaking bioprinting approaches. It also covers rheological characterization and its biomedical applications. Part two showcases the diverse applications of hydrogels in tissue regeneration, spanning bone, adipose, cartilage, cardiac, intervertebral disc, and skin tissues. Additionally, it explores hydrogels for hemostasis, vascularization enhancement, and infectious disease treatment, along with their bioadhesive properties. Part three delves into the regulatory aspects surrounding hydrogel products, addressing emerging developments and commercially available solutions. Hydrogel Tissue Analogues is an essential resource for researchers and academics in the fields of materials science, biomaterials, polymer science, and regenerative medicine, who have an interest in hydrogel-based biomedical solutions.
