It highlights the technical and methodological advancements in introducing biopolymers, their study, and promoted applications.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e\"Biopolymers for Biomedical and Biotechnological Applications\" begins with a general overview of biopolymers, properties, and biocompatibility. It then provides in-depth information in three dedicated sections: Biopolymers through Bioengineering and Biotechnology Venues; Polymeric Biomaterials with Wide Applications; and Biopolymers for Specific Applications. Chapters cover: advances in biocompatibility; advanced microbial polysaccharides; microbial cell factories for biomanufacturing of polysaccharides; exploitation of exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria; and the new biopolymer for biomedical application called nanocellulose. Advances in mucin biopolymer research are presented, along with those in the synthesis of fibrous proteins and their applications. The book looks at microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), as well as natural and synthetic biopolymers in drug delivery and tissue engineering. It finishes with a chapter on the current state and applications of, and future trends in, biopolymers in regenerative medicine.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e* Offers a complete and thorough treatment of biopolymers from synthesis strategies and physiochemical properties to applications in industrial and medical biotechnology\n\u003cbr\u003e* Discusses the most attracted biopolymers with wide and specific applications\n\u003cbr\u003e* Takes a systematic approach to the field which allows readers to grasp and implement strategies for biomedical and biotechnological applications\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e\"Biopolymers for Biomedical and Biotechnological Applications\" appeals to biotechnologists, bioengineers, and polymer chemists, as well as to those working in the biotechnological industry and institutes.\n\u003cbr\u003e 1 Advances in Biocompatibility: A Prerequisite for Biomedical Application of Biopolymers\n\u003cbr\u003e2 Advanced Microbial Polysaccharides\n\u003cbr\u003e3 Microbial Cell Factories for Biomanufacturing of Polysaccharides\n\u003cbr\u003e4 Exploitation of exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria \n\u003cbr\u003e5 Nanocellulose: a new biopolymer for biomedical application \n\u003cbr\u003e6 Advances in Mucin Biopolymer Research: Purification, Characterization and Applications \n\u003cbr\u003e7 Advances in the synthesis of fibrous proteins and their applications\n\u003cbr\u003e8 Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs): from synthetic biology to industrialization\n\u003cbr\u003e9 Natural and synthetic biopolymers in drug delivery and tissue engineering\n\u003cbr\u003e10 Biopolymers in Regenerative Medicine: Overview, Current Advances, and Future Trends\n\u003cbr\u003e Bernd Rehm, PhD, is Director of the Centre for Cell Factories and Biopolymer at Griffith University (Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery, Australia), and is the founder and chief technology officer of the biotechnology start-up company PolyBatics Ltd.
