Biological Interactions on Materials Surfaces : Understanding and Controlling Protein Cell and Tissue Responses Success or failure of biomaterials whether tissue engineered constructs joint and dental implants vascular grafts or heart valves depends on molecular level events that determine subsequent responses of cells and tissues. This book presents the latest developments and state of the art knowledge regarding protein cell and tissue interactions with both conventional and nanophase materials. Insight into these biomaterial surface interactions will play a critical role in further developments in fields such as tissue engineering regenerative medicine and biocompatibility of implanted materials and devices. With chapters written by leaders in their respective fields this compendium will be the authoritative source of information for scientists engineers and medical researchers seeking not only to understand but also to control tissue biomaterial interactions.
