3D Lung Models For Regenerating Lung Tissue

The aim of this book was to improve understanding of the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypoplasia in CDH, to eventually aid in finding ways to modulate the natural course in a prenatally diagnosed child.

The aim of this book is to provide an exciting read on strategies in the diagnosis and therapy of lung cancer.

This volume is dedicated to the relationship between 3D printing and engineering and the impact of 3D printing on the medical sector in general : stereolithography, new techniques of high-resolution 3D printing, application of 3D printers in architecture and civil engineering, the additive production with the metal components and the management of production; education of medical staff through surgical simulations, tissue engineering and potential applications of 3D printing in ophthalmology and orthopedics.

This book details the benefits of palliative care to improve the lives of patients with serious lung disease and their caregivers. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness, and is often described as “an extra layer of support” for patients and their caregivers, as patients with malignant and nonmalignant lung disease experience great symptom burden and have advanced care planning needs.

In this book dealing with the lung health, the authors focus on various fields, spreading from pulmonary oncogenesis, to inflammatory and parasitic lung diseases.

This book deals with current progress and perspectives in a variety of topics on the skeletal and smooth muscle, stem cells, regeneration, disease or therapeutics. The book can be interesting for graduate students, teachers, physicians, executives and researchers in the field of molecular biology and regenerative medicine.
