Beschreibung
This Volume of the series Cardiac and Vascular Biology, represents a comprehensive and exciting state-of-the-art work on the current possibilities and promises of cardiac regeneration and repair. Several techniques and approaches have been developed for heart failure repair so far: direct injection of cells, programming of scar tissue into functional myocardium, and tissue engineered heart muscle support. The book introduces the rationale for these different approaches in cell based heart regeneration and discusses the important considerations for clinical translation. Expert authors discuss the when and why, and how heart muscle may be salvaged. The book is written for stem cell researchers, cardiologists, bioengineers and biomedical scientists studying cardiac functioning and regeneration.
