Regeneration, the homeostatic ability to maintain tissue structure
in the face of normal cell turnover or loss of tissue damaged by
trauma or disease, is an essential developmental process that
continues throughout life. As recently as a decade ago, any serious
discussion of the possibility of regeneration becoming a practical
medical tool in the near future had the air of science fiction or
over-optimistic speculation. The term "regenerative medicine" was
certainly on many lips but few actually expected to soon see it
applied in a clinical setting. A tidal wave of discovery has
changed that and investigating the cellular mechanisms of natural
regeneration has become one of the hottest topics in developmental
biology and biomedicine in general. Many researchers entering the
field find that the regeneration literature is still quite diffuse
perhaps owing to the disparate biological systems that have been
the object of study including hydra, planaria, newts, axolotls and
more recently several mouse strains. The volume editors believe
that an attempt to organize or systematize the literature is long
overdue. In this volume, respected experts highlight the latest
findings in vertebrate (including mammals) wound healing and
regeneration. They present eleven reviews that cover a wide range
of topics, from wound repair and its relationship to regeneration,
through systems including lenticular, neural, and musculoskeletal
tissues and limbs, to epigenetics and the role of the cell cycle.
Nuclear reprogramming and cellular plasticity, which open the door
for potential regenerative medical therapies for injury and
degenerative disease, are recurring themes throughout the book. We
are all now part of the regeneration revolution.
