This book illustrates the influence of biomimetics in the field of tissue engineering and drug delivery. These two distinct fields of regenerative medicine have greatly benefited from the concept of biomimetics, which focuses on using or imitating nature to develop materials for improving human lives. The book begins by highlighting the relevance and recent advances in biomimetic biomaterials. An updated and innovative content has been presented in terms of biomimetic systems that are being utilized in controlled delivery and stem cell therapy. Further, the book reviews the role of these materials in enhanced capacity for drug loading, cellular uptake, and controlled release within the target cells. The book includes advanced techniques for characterizing biomimetic biomaterials and highlights their pivotal role in providing three-dimensional templates and synthetic extracellular matrices.

Dr. Mamoni Dash is a principal Investigator at the Institute of Life Sciences (ILS), Bhubaneswar. Her research team is focusing on the development of rational designs for new biomaterials to regulate repair, regeneration and drug delivery. Dr. Dash received her Ph.D. in Biomaterials from the University of Pisa, Italy. She pursued post-doctoral research under Prof. Emo Chiellini, BIOLab, University of Pisa, Italy, and subsequently at the Department of Organic Chemistry, Ghent University, Belgium, under Prof. Peter Dubruel. Her research interests lie in the interdisciplinary area of polymers, and her current focus is on the development of polymers as biomaterials for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. She has published her research articles in peer-reviewed journals of international repute and authored or co-authored numerous book chapters. She holds five patents for commercialized products. Dr. Dash is a member of various international scientific societiesand organizations, including the European Society of Biomaterials and the International Association of Advanced Materials.
