Regenerative Medicine, Stem Cells and the Liver (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The regenerative capacity of the liver has been recognized for centuries, but when it is overwhelmed by insulting stimuli or is chronically damaged, its regenerative capability is substantially reduced or lost. Researchers have been working to find solutions to cure failing human liver function. Given the ability of stem cells to self- renew and di
