Regenerative medicine applications in organ transplantation illustrates exactly how these two fields are coming together and can benefit one another it discusses technologies being developed methods being implemented and which of these are the most promising the text encompasses tissue engineering biomaterial sciences stem cell biology and developmental biology all from a transplant perspective organ systems considered include liver renal intestinal pancreatic and more leaders . The book regenerative medicine applications in organ transplantation edited by drs orlando lerut soker and stratta offers an authoritative and timely overview of the ongoing progress and applicative potential of regenerative medicine for the treatment of end stage organ failure notably the editors should be commended for having succeeded in assembling an outstanding multidisciplinary roster of international experts involved with basic translational and clinical research . The concepts of regenerative medicine hold the potential for augmenting organ function or repairing damaged organ or allowing regeneration of deteriorated organs and tissue researchers are exploring possible regenerative medicine applications in organ transplantation so that coming together of the two fields can benefit each other the present review discusses the strategies that are being implemented to regenerate or bio engineer human organs for clinical purposes it also highlights the . Groundbreaking achievements in regenerative medicine have generated interest in transplant researchers and they are exploring possible regenerative medicine applications in organ transplantation so that coming together of the two fields can benefit one another new technologies consisting of stem cells and tissue engineering have potential for augmenting organ function or repairing damaged
