Stem Cells and Revascularization Therapies

Tissue engineering is considered a promising new tool to improve the repair and restoration of tissue function and to rebuild new tissues. Stem cells are being extensively studied for use in tissue engineering because of their ability to develop into a variety of tissues. This volume addresses various scientific and engineering principles and technologies that support and stimulate the regenerative capabilities of stem cells. It provides results of successful and unsuccessful preclinical and clinical trials and provides guidelines for the future use of stem cells in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
