Call for Book Chapters “Current Trends in Bio-manufacturing” Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing, Springer International Publishing AG, Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland

The field of biomaterial and biomanufacturing is growing rapidly in order to meet the increasing demands of the artificial organs, joints, and bone-fixation devices. The high ace of research and development in this particular area of science and technology is bringing new and viable resources/methods/techniques for the sake of better quality life by proving the affordable health care services. The failure of an organ is most common and exorbitant issue in the human being. In this regards, the published reports indicate the increased demands of diverse bone biomaterials in recent years. To address some of these demanding issues, the biomanufacturing integrates life science and engineering fundamentals to produce biocompatible materials and structure by using modern manufacturing systems.
