"Regenerative Medicine Applications in Organ Transplantation"
illustrates exactly how these two fields are coming together and
can benefit one another. It discusses technologies being developed,
methods being implemented, and which of these are the most
promising. The text encompasses tissue engineering, biomaterial
sciences, stem cell biology, and developmental biology, all from a
transplant perspective. Organ systems considered include liver,
renal, intestinal, pancreatic, and more. Leaders from both fields
have contributed chapters, clearly illustrating that regenerative
medicine and solid organ transplantation speak the same language
and that both aim for similar medical outcomes. The overall theme
of the book is to provide insight into the synergy between organ
transplantation and regenerative medicine.
Recent groundbreaking achievements in regenerative medicine have
received unprecedented coverage by the media, fueling interest and
enthusiasm in transplant clinicians and researchers. Regenerative
medicine is changing the premise of solid organ transplantation,
requiring transplantation investigators to become familiar with
regenerative medicine investigations that can be extremely relevant
to their work. Similarly, regenerative medicine investigators need
to be aware of the needs of the transplant field to bring these two
fields together for greater results.
Bridges the gap between regenerative medicine and solid organ
transplantation and highlights reasons for collaboration Explains
the importance and future potential of regenerative medicine to the
transplant communityIllustrates to regenerative medicine
investigators the needs of the transplant discipline to drive and
guide investigations in the most promising directions
