It introduces microfluidic and fluid dynamics principles and how microfluidic devices improve cell culture methodology, tissue development, and vascularization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume focuses on organ-specific systems and their microfluidic platforms and offers an interdisciplinary view of tissue engineering. Chapters discuss the following systems heart-on-chip, neuron-on-chip, liver-on-chip, lung-on-chip, kidney-on-chip, gut-on-chip, and skin-on-chip. Each chapter provides detailed analysis on the design, fabrication, and application of these systems, emphasizing their ability to replicate the structure, function, and microenvironment of native tissues. Applications in drug discovery, disease modeling, and personalized medicine are explored extensively and emerging technologies, such as 3D bioprinting and multi-organ systems are discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students, this volume provides an interdisciplinary view of microfluidic technologies which sit at the intersection of microfluidics, biology, and material science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessor Susanna Miettinen is a leading cell and tissue engineering expert at Tampere University, serving as Principal Investigator in the Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research (CoEBoC). She heads the Adult Stem Cell Group, focusing on mesenchymal stem\/stromal cells (MSCs), tissue engineering, and the development of advanced in vitro models using biomaterials, microfluidics, and 3D bioprinting. Her work includes creating models of adipose tissue, bone, bone marrow, and skeletal muscle to bridge basic biology with clinical applications. With a Ph.D. in ovarian cancer from Tampere University, she now explores regenerative medicine solutions, including large bone defect repairs and urogynecological applications. As a key figure in CoEBoC, she drives innovation in personalized medicine and organ-on-chip technologies. Professor Miettinen’s groundbreaking research and teaching contributions are advancing the fields of stem cell applications, tissue engineering, and biomedical technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Mohit Mehta is a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Tampere University, specializing in biomedical technology. His research focuses on ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, microfluidic devices, mRNA delivery using polymeric and lipid nanoparticles, natural killer (NK) cell-based cancer immunotherapy, tissue engineering, and microbubbles. Dr. Mehta earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute in 2019, where he studied the structure-property correlations in protic-aprotic ionic liquids and their applications. He has held postdoctoral positions at Korea University and Inha University, contributing to research in nucleic acid delivery and nanosystems. At Tampere University, he is part of the Adult Stem Cell Group within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology and the Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research (CoEBoC), developing microfluidic devices and innovative drug delivery systems using bio-ionic liquids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032393142\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e399\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52370123751564,"sku":"9783032393142","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032393142.jpg?v=1790900874","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032393142","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
