Cardiovascular Regeneration and Stem Cell Therapy

This book is the definitive reference on two of the most exciting areas of cardiovascular research – myocardial regeneration and stem cell therapy – for the treatment of disease. Edited by pioneers in the area, with contributions from every major investigator worldwide, it covers:

The biology of stem cellsThe actions of stem cells from the bone marrow, the heart, and embryos on the normal restorative and repair functions of the heart and blood vesselsHow stem cells could contribute to myocardial recovery in the face of injury and agingHow adjuvant therapy with growth factors might enhance stem cell activity in regeneration and repairClinical applications and clinical experiences This fully referenced publication presents the current state of knowledge in both basic science and clinical practice, and is an essential reference for scientists, students, and clinicians.
