Rapid advances in stem cell biology have raised exciting
possibilities of replacing damaged or lost tissues and cells by
activation of in vitro-expanded stem cells or their progeny. This
book examines many of the unresolved problems as well as future
applications of regenerative medicine. Areas of focus include the
nervous system and hippocampal neurogenesis, along with the
functional significance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the
production of free radicals after brain ischemia; the digestive and
integumentary systems, dealing with hepatocyte transplantation,
pancreatic regeneration, and skin and hair regeneration; and the
cardiovascular system, with repair and remodeling of the lung and
heart, and arterial remodeling with bone marrow-derived progenitor
cells. In addition to animal experiments, results of research on
human tissues and organs are included. Researchers in the field
will find this volume an invaluable source of reference in their
work.
