Written by experts in the field, readers can expect to learn more about 3D lung models, novel techniques including bioprinting and advanced imaging techniques, as well as important knowledge about the complexity of the lung and its extracellular matrix composition.
Structured into 15 different chapters, the book spans from the original 2D cell culture model on plastic, to advanced 3D lung models such as using human extracellular matrix protein. In addition, the last chapters cover new techniques including 3D printing, bioprinting, and artificial intelligence that can be used to drive the field forward and some future perspectives. This highly topical book with chapters on everything from the complexity of the lung and its microenvironment to cutting-edge 3D lung models, represents an exciting body of work that can be used by researchers during study design, grant writing, as teaching material, or to stay updated with the progression of the field.
- A comprehensive summary of advanced 3D lung models written by the experts in the respiratory field
- Explore novel techniques that can be used to evaluate and improve 3D lung models, including techniques such as 3D printing, bioprinting, and artificial intelligence
- Explains what extracellular matrix is, the complexity of the lung microenvironment, and why this knowledge is important for creating a functional bioartificial lung
