Dear Colleague and Participant in Bioceramics and Alternative Bearings In Joint Arthroplasty: 10*" International BIOLOX® Symposium We are once again very proud that we are able to present to you the proceedings of the Symposiunn as part of your registration materials. This group accomplishment has been made possible by the superb cooperation received from the speakers in sending us their manuscripts on a timely basis as well as by the supporting staff at both CeramTec and at the Publishing House in executing all of the details needed. We specially extend our most heartfelt thanks to the Scientific Committee for their assistance in evaluating and selecting the submissions as well as developing the Symposium program. We are more convinced than ever that the proceedings of this Symposium are a continuation of CeramTec's tradition of providing all members of the orthopedic surgical community with a valuable addition to your reference libraries. We hope that this book will present you with the latest and most up to date source of scientific and clinical information regarding the use of ceramics and other alternative bearings in joint replacement surgery.

For the first time in a single volume, the design, characterisation and operation of the bioreactor system in which the tissue is grown is detailed. Bioreactors for Tissue Engineering presents an overall picture of the current state of knowledge in the engineering of bioreactors for several tissue types (bone, cartilage, vascular), addresses the issue of mechanical conditioning of the tissue, and describes the use of techniques such as MRI for monitoring tissue growth. This unique volume is dedicated to the fundamentals and application of bioreactor technology to tissue engineering products. Not only will it appeal to graduate students and experienced researchers in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but also to tissue engineers and culture technologists, academic and industrial chemical engineers, biochemical engineers and cell biologists who wish to understand the criteria used to design and develop novel systems for tissue growth in vitro.

The development of materials for any replacement or regeneration application should be based on the thorough understanding of the structure to be substituted. This is true in many fields, but particularly exigent in substitution and regeneration medicine. The demands upon the material properties largely depend on the site of application and the function it has to restore. Ideally, a replacement material should mimic the living tissue from a mechanical, chemical, biological and functional point of view. Of course this is much easier to write down than to implement in clinical practice. Mineralized tissues such as bones, tooth and shells have attracted, in the last few years, considerable interest as natural anisotropic composite structures with adequate mechanical properties. In fact, Nature is and will continue to be the best materials scientist ever. Who better than nature can design complex structures and control the intricate phenomena (processing routes) that lead to the final shape and structure (from the macro to the nano level) of living creatures? Who can combine biological and physico-chemical mechanisms in such a way that can build ideal structure-properties relationships? Who, else than Nature, can really design smart structural components that respond in-situ to exterior stimulus, being able of adapting constantly their microstructure and correspondent properties? In the described philosophy line, mineralized tissues and biomineralization processes are ideal examples to learn-from for the materials scientist of the future.
