The roles of bioresorbable polymers, as a scaffold, are not merely structural, providing three-dimensional (3D) homing sites to cells, but also functional at their interface with the cells. The polymeric scaffolds actively act as both biochemical and physical cues for cell behaviors, such as adhesion, growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Polymers and cells could interact further with each other mutually, sensing and responding to the signals from the partner. Technological advances in this direction, including chemical modification of polymer scaffolds, highly cytocompatible hybrid materials/composites, dynamic scaffolds, control of juxtacrine interactions, and 3D bioprinting and microfluidic devices, ensure the advances in polymers as cell scaffolds. The detection and characterization methods for cell-material interactions and cell behaviors have been greatly improved, and new characterization techniques have emerged. Recent years have witnessed a quantum leap of progress in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and this edited book illustrates some of the advances in polymers as cell scaffolds. 517 $aAdvance of Polymers Applied to Biomedical Applications 606 $aPolymers in medicine 606 $aTissue engineering 615 0$aPolymers in medicine. 615 0$aTissue engineering. 676 $a610.284 702 $aChoi$b Insung S. 702 $aMano$b Joao F. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688445803321 996 $aAdvance of Polymers Applied to Biomedical Applications$93085778 997 $aUNINA
