About this ebook

Extracellular and biofluids vesicles (EVs) are highly specialised yet ubiquitous nanoscale messengers secreted by cells. With the development of stem cell engineering, EVs promise to deliver next generation tools in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, as well as in diagnostics. A vibrant and promising field, this book provides the first resource to the field.

Covering basic cell biology, including EV production and intracellular communication, this book will provide material scientists and engineers with a foundation to the necessary biology. The reader will then learn about the isolation of extracellular vesicles their physicochemical characterisation and therapeutic application of EVs in regenerative medicine as well as their potential as biomarkers in medical diagnostic. This book will also discuss the regulatory landscape of EVs.

Bridging cell biology, biomaterials, biophysics and biomedical engineering the content of this book is written with a broad interdisciplinary audience in mind. Researchers, new and established will find this a must-have on their shelf.

About the author

Dr Chrzanowski has over 12 years in the area of biomaterials with over 50 papers, 2 books (monographs). He graduated from the Silesian University of Technology, where he also obtained my PhD. After receiving a prestigious fellowship I moved to University College London to work in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering laboratory and develop novel osteogenic materials. In 2008 he moved to the University of Glasgow where I joined large EU consortium providing his expertise in the synthesis of materials for orthopaedic applications. In 2010 he moved to the University of Sydney where I established my laboratory working currently with six PhD students.
