Produktbeschreibung

The human body is unable to significantly self-repair injured organs and tissues, resulting in a considerable medical and social problem. During the last few years there has been incredible progress, and achievements in experimental strategies for tissue regeneration have led to potential treatment options for many otherwise fatal conditions. This multidisciplinary book offers a new approach for restoring functions of damaged organs and tissues. Several books have been published on particular aspects of organ and/or tissue replacement, but none cover the major new aspects and field of regenerative medicine. This title is therefore a timely addition to the literature, bringing together the major approaches to regenerative medicine and ensuring that techniques learnt in one discipline are disseminated across other areas. Practitioners will gain knowledge of how regenerative medicine applies to their discipline directly as well as how it could benefit their patients in the future.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"....The broad scope of topics will attract attention from the entire biomedical research community. The book provides a snap shot of current research, a vision of research opportunities, & hope for patients with chronic diseases." Bruce A Fenderson, Ph.D.(Thomas Jefferson University), Doody's book service, June 2006)

"This book is a comprehensive compilation of chapters summarizing the progress made in the different therapeutic areas. The inclusion of a general introduction would have been helpful to put stem cell approaches in context with more conventional therapies. ... The book is comprehensive and readable making it suitable for students and experienced researchers ... ." (Christopher Ring, Microbiology Today, June, 2009)
