This book presents a wide and interdisciplinary overview of the current state of the art in the development of biomimetic materials for tissue regeneration on the basis of relevant and high-impact clinical needs. It specifically emphasizes the regeneration of bone, cartilage, and osteochondral tissues as well as soft tissues such as nerves, heart,


Simone Sprio is a researcher at the Department of Bio-ceramics and Bio-hybrid Composites for Regenerative Medicine, CNR-Institute of Science and Technology for Ceramics, since 1997. He is active in the field of research and development of new ceramic-based biomaterials and devices for bone regeneration in orthopedics and spinal, maxillofacial, and neurosurgery.

Anna Tampieri is director of CNR-Institute of Science and Technology for Ceramics, Italy, and head of the Department of Bio-ceramics and Bio-hybrid Composites for Regenerative Medicine since 1985. She is the coordinator of several European projects and scientific advisor to several companies active in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Dr. Tampieri is also the organizer of several international conferences and symposia on biomaterials.
