Biomedical Engineering and Health Informatics

The idea of this special edition was the combination of scientific works on topics of actual problems of biomimetics and scientific approaches to the creation of biocompatible implant materials used in implantology. Comprehensive information about actual issues of biomedical engineering as a modern component of science in biology and medicine is provided. The interdisciplinary approach of biomedical engineering in the development of technical devices for medical research is reasoned. Clinical scientific works dedicated to the treatment of patients of Clinic of Traumatology and Orthopedics with the Hallux Valgus pathology as well as the research that illustrates the histological features of osteoarthritis in a state of decompensation are provided for your attention. The work of neurologists that reveals the biological significance of facial ganglia lesions from the fundamental positions of anatomy and symptomology is also presented.

The 46th volume of "Journal of Biomimetics, Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering" includes papers reflecting the most contemporary scientific results and engineering decisions in the fields of biomechanics, practices of arterial prosthetics, methods of medical images processing and biomedical signals for the diagnostic and research, materials for bone tissue repair. The current volume has to be useful for various researchers and engineers involved in different branches of modern biomedicine.

In the 39th volume of Journal of Biomimetics, Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering are collected papers that present readers with the latest results of scientific research and of some practical aspects in the fields of the biomechanics, dental implantation and restoration, processing of medical signals and images for the diagnostic equipment, utilization of modern biomaterials and some new research and diagnostic methods in the current biomedical practice. We hope that this volume will be useful for many researchers and engineers involved in different branches of modern biomedicine.

This volume of the "Journal of Biomimetics, Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering" covers topical issue of biomimetic approach to the development of modern means of a wide range of industrial applications, the new solutions in the field of biomedical engineering and of pharmacological practice and also illuminates the results of the latest solutions in the field of development of biomaterials and their application.

Provides cutting-edge advances in biologically inspired, biomimetically-designed materials and systems for developing the next generation of nanobiomaterials and tissue engineering Humans have been trying to learn biomimetics for centuries by mimicking nature and its behaviors and processes in order to develop novel materials, structures, devices, and technologies. The most substantial benefits of biomimetics will likely be in human medical applications, such as developing bioprosthetics that mimic real limbs and sensor-based biochips that interface with the human brain to assist in hearing and sight. Biomimetics: Advancing Nanobiomaterials and Tissue Engineering seeks to compile all aspects of biomimetics, from fundamental principles to current technological advances, along with future trends in the development of nanoscale biomaterials and tissue engineering. The book details research, useful in inspiring new ideas, that seeks the principles and rules implemented by nature, such as self-assembly, a bottom-up approach in which molecular structures are assembled with little or no external intervention to generate nano, micro, and macro structures. Other subjects covered in the book include: Cartilage tissue engineering as an emerging technology The fabrication methods of nanofibrous scaffolds and their potential utility in bone tissue engineering applications Dental and craniofacial tissue engineering with bioactive polymers and bionanomaterials Strategies to prevent bacterial adhesion on biomaterials The latest achievements in biomimetic ECM scaffolds prepared from cultured cells Graphene oxide and graphene as promising scaffold materials Stem cells as a source for building tissues or organs in the laboratory

The interaction between cells, tissues and biomaterial surfaces are the highlights of the book "Advances in Biomimetics". In this regard the effect of nanostructures and nanotopographies and their effect on the development of a new generation of biomaterials including advanced multifunctional scaffolds for tissue engineering are discussed. The 2 volumes contain articles that cover a wide spectrum of subject matter such as different aspects of the development of scaffolds and coatings with enhanced performance and bioactivity, including investigations of material surface-cell interactions.
