Materials, Surfaces, and Systems for Extracorporeal Therapies and Beyond

As a highly active member of the scientific community in the field of artificial organs, Dieter Falkenhagen contributed greatly to the collaboration and to the education of scientists, engineers, and clinicians across disciplines. He was elected board member of the European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) for many years, served as ESAO president from 20002002, organized the ESAO Congress 2007 in Krems and established the ESAO Winter and Summer schools to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge between students, postdoctoral fellows, clinicians, and engineers. The current issue reflects a number of topics brought forward by Dieter Falkenhagen in the field of extracorporeal therapies and biomedical technology, which has grown into a highly interdisciplinary area of artificial organ research and an important pillar of Regenerative Medicine.
