Description: Regenerative medicine (stem cell and gene-based therapy) offers a new approach for restoring function of damaged organs and tissues. This book brings together the major approaches to regenerative medicine in one text, which ensures that techniques learnt in one discipline are disseminated across other areas of medicine, allowing practitioners to gain knowledge not only of how regenerative medicine applies to their discipline directly but also how it could benefit their patients in the years to come.
