Regenerative Hepatology and Liver Transplantation

Regenerative Hepatology and Liver Transplantation is the second volume in the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine Series. This volume is essential as no field in the biomedical sciences has more interest than organ transplantation regarding regenerative medicine, primarily because of the urgent need to improve transplant outcomes and increase transplantation rates is critical to treat the many patients suffering from liver disease. The goal of this book is to bridge regenerative and transplant medicine, by illustrating the state of the art of clinical liver transplantation, as well as of the progress of regenerative medicine (RM) investigations aiming at the bioengineering, regeneration and repair of the liver. This volume is necessary and would be placed well in the current global trend toward increasing organ donation utilizing such cutting-edge technologies. Written by the world's experts in the field of liver disease and it is perfect for transplant operators, researchers, regenerative medicine operators, tissue engineering operators, biotech operators, and those in academia, industry and regulatory agencies working to advance the field. Second volume in the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine Series, focusing on the liver Covers the liver and diseases, transplantation, cell transplantation, liver preservation and machine perfusion Builds on previous works and demonstrates how regenerative and transplant medicine work together to provide an increased ability to improve health care outcomes for individuals INDICE: Part 1 - The Liver and Liver Diseases 1.
