Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
In this chapter, we thoroughly review the current developments and challenges in the field of tissue engineering of normal and breast cancer cells. We also briefly describe the current advances in cell culture techniques and common biomaterials, which are useful in the field of tissue engineering. Further, the need for a new microencapsulation technology of cells utilizing the microfluidic method is illustrated. Moreover, the most recent applications of cell-laden microcapsules in tissue engineering are summarized. Lastly, the chapter is concluded with an outline of the future prospective.
