About this book
Regenerating the Heart: Stem Cells and the Cardiovascular System organizes the field into a digestible body of knowledge. Its four sections cover mechanical regeneration, electrical regeneration, cardiac tissues and in vivo stem cell therapies. An array of talented researchers share the fruits of their labors, with chapters covering such crucial issues as the cardiogenic potential of varying stem cell types, the ways in which they might be used to tackle arrhythmias, their possible application to biological replacements for cardiac tissues such as valves, and the varying approaches used in the in vivo evaluation of stem cell therapies, including methods of delivering stem cells to the myocardium.
This comprehensive survey of an area of research with such exciting potential is an invaluable resource both for veteran stem cell researchers who need to monitor fresh developments, and for newly minted investigators seeking inspirational examples.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“Regenerating the Heart: Stem Cells and the Cardiovascular System is therefore a very welcome, insightful resource for stem cell enthusiasts yet, at the same time, digestible to researchers with a casual interest in the subject. … the book reviews recent advances, balancing technical detail, clinical consideration and directions for future research prospects. … the book offers the most complete bench to bedside appraisal to date, documenting ‘where the field has been, where it is and where it is heading’ … .” (Nicola Smart, Cardiology News, December/January, 2013)
