| Popis: | The discipline of tissue engineering has grown due to demand for more efficient and effective means of tissue and organ replacement. The biocompatibility of tissue engineering biomaterials denotes its ability to encourage cellular activity, molecular signaling, and the desired mechanical support in order to enhance tissue regeneration, without provoking any objectionable local or systemic reactions. This chapter concisely reviews tests used for evaluating the biocompatibility of biomaterials based on regulatory standards and how well these tests can be correlated. In addition, it overviews the specifications that manage such testing and describes the merits and drawbacks of the testing methods. Finally the chapter explores various biomaterials used in the tissue engineering discipline within the context of these principles. |
