Stem Cells and Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine
addresses the urgent need for a compact source of information on both
the cellular and biomaterial aspects of regenerative medicine. By
developing a mutual understanding between three separately functioning
areas of science―medicine, the latest technology, and clinical
economics―the volume encourages interdisciplinary relationships that
will lead to solutions for the significant challenges faced by today's
regenerative medicine. Users will find sections on the homeostatic
balance created by apoptosis and proliferating tissue stem cells, the
naturally regenerative capacities of various tissue types, the potential
regenerative benefits of iPS-generation, various differentiation
protocols, and more.
Written in easily accessbile language, this
volume is appropriate for any professional or medical staff looking to
expand their knowledge with regard to stem cells and regenerative
medicine.
