The worldwide demand for organ transplants exceeds available donor
organs by far. Understanding and controlling membrane material
biocompatibility and transport phenomena currently opens new
opportunities for the improvement of artificial organs (e.g.,
hemodialysis devices, hemofilters, blood oxygenator, etc.) and the
design of bioartificial organs such as the bioartificial liver or
pancreas. The book covers these topics and connects membrane
systems to applications in regenerative medicine.
