Regenerative and Transplant Medicine – serie

Regenerative Hepatology and Liver Transplantation is the second volume in the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine series. This volume is essential as no field in the biomedical sciences has more interest than organ transplantation regarding regenerative medicine, primarily because of the urgent need to improve transplant outcomes and increase transplantation rates is critical to treat the many patients suffering from liver disease.The goal of this book is to bridge regenerative hepatology and transplant medicine, by illustrating the state of the art of clinical liver transplantation, as well as of the progress of regenerative medicine (RM) investigations aiming at the bioengineering, regeneration, and repair of the liver.This volume is necessary and would be placed well in the current global trend toward increasing organ donation utilizing such cutting-edge technologies. Written by the world’s experts in the field of liver diseases, it is a perfect reference for transplant operators, researchers, regenerative medicine operators, tissue engineering operators, biotech operators, and those in academia, industry, and regulatory agencies working to advance the field.Second volume in the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine series, focusing on the liverCovers the liver and diseases, transplantation, cell transplantation, liver preservation and machine perfusion, and liver bioengineeringBuilds on previous works and demonstrates how regenerative and transplant medicine work together to provide an increased ability to improve health care outcomes for individuals

Pancreas and Beta Cell Replacement is the inaugural volume of the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine series. The idea for this new book series spawned from the observation that the regenerative medicine field is progressing at such a fast pace that the way we currently think and practice transplant medicine is rapidly changing, faster than we could ever imagine.? This series was therefore conceived to bring together experts from both the transplant and regenerative medicine fields, to share knowledge first, but also to introduce the transplant audience to the remarkable progress that has occurred in regenerative medicine over the past few decades. At the same time, we intend to illustrate to researchers and operators in the regenerative medicine field the numerous platforms that transplant medicine offers for the application of their technologies. To the publisher and the editors of this series and volumes there is no doubt that regenerative medicine will shape and define the future of transplant medicine.?

This volume focuses on pancreas and beta cell replacement and illustrates how progress in biomaterial sciences, stem cell biology, gene editing, cell, tissue and organ bioengineering and regeneration, along with advances in xenotransplantation are revolutionizing the field. Written by the world's experts in the fields of pancreas, islet and xenotransplantation, as well as regenerative medicine, it represents a valuable educational tool for those in the fields of clinical transplantation, researchers in the field of regenerative medicine, transplant medicine, diabetes and immunology, as well as for medical and health science students, those in academia, the biotech industry and regulatory agencies working to advance the field. At the end of the book, it will become clear to the reader that beta cell replacement offers a vast array of platforms for the application of regenerative medicine technologies to transplant medicine. ?
