Regenerative Medicine

From the reviews of the second edition: "It is intended for students, research scientists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. The general audience, especially potential patients, should also find this book informative. ... This book offers broad coverage of the fast emerging and extremely diverse field of research and clinical therapies in regenerative medicine. This updated edition provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art scientific and clinical knowledge in the field." (Joanna Goral, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2014)
