The interdisciplinary field of regenerative medicine holds the promise of repairing and replacing tissues and organs damaged by disease and of developing therapies for previously untreatable conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, and renal failure. Derived from the fields of tissue engineering, cell and developmental biology, biomaterials science, nanotechnology, physics, chemistry, physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, and surgery, regenerative medicine is one of the most influential topics of biological research today. Derived from the successful Principles of Regenerative Medicine, this volume brings together the latest information on the advances in technology and medicine and the replacement of tissues and organs damaged by disease. Chapters focus on the fundamental principles of regenerative therapies that have crossover with a broad range of disciplines.
From the molecular basis to therapeutic applications, this volume is an essential source for students, researchers, and technicians in tissue engineering, stem cells, nuclear transfer (therapeutic cloning), cell, tissue, and organ transplantation, nanotechnology, bioengineering, and medicine to gain a comprehensive understanding of the nature and prospects for this important field. * Highlights the fundamentals of regenerative medicine to relate to a variety of related science and technology fields * Introductory chapter directly addresses why regenerative medicine is important to a variety of researchers by providing practical examples and references to primary literature * Includes new discoveries from leading researchers on restoration of diseased tissues and organs
Principles of Regenerative Medicine

Virtually any disease that results from malfunctioning, damaged, or failing tissues may be potentially cured through regenerative medicine therapies, by either regenerating the damaged tissues in vivo, or by growing the tissues and organs in vitro and implanting them into the patient. "Principles of Regenerative Medicine" discusses the latest advances in technology and medicine for replacing tissues and organs damaged by disease and of developing therapies for previously untreatable conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, and renal failure. This title provides key for all researchers and institutions in Stem Cell Biology, Bioengineering, and Developmental Biology. This is the first of its kind to offer an advanced understanding of the latest technologies in regenerative medicine. It offers new discoveries from leading researchers on restoration of diseased tissues and organs.
