This single-authored reference looks at the rationale and development of the microencapsulation field before discussing state-of-the-art applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, including 3D cell culture and cell-based drug delivery. Intrinsically multidisciplinary, it targets a wide audience including those in material science, cell biology, biotechnology, pharmaceutics, stem cells, matrix biology, developmental biology, chemical engineering, and cell mechanics. The author presents several innovative future directions in cell microencapsulation such as 3D co-culture models for cell niche studies and interface tissue engineering. The book also looks at complex tissue engineering and various subunits can be integrated into functional complex tissues.
