Biomaterials for Women's Health Engineering

This book is a comprehensive text designed to summarize the field of biomaterials for women’s health engineering and provide multidisciplinary accounts of research in the field. This is the first book to systematically define the field of women’s health engineering and detail key engineering tools for studying women’s health, including advanced cell culture techniques, tissue engineering, bioengineering systems, mechanical characterization, nanotechnology, and more. This book covers a wide range of tissue and organ systems, including the ovary, uterus, vagina, pelvic floor, placenta, and orthopedic tissues. The aim of this work is to create a key text for this emerging field that can be utilized by both researchers and trainees interested in these topics. This is an ideal resource for researchers and students studying women’s health engineering, biology, engineering, and medicine.
