Summary:

This book is the definitive reference on two of the most exciting areas of current cardiovascular research efforts - myocardial regeneration and stem cell therapy - for the treatment of disease. Edited and co-authored by pioneers in the area, with contributions from every major Investigator worldwide, It covers: The biology of stem cells, The actions of stem cells from the bone marrow, the heart and embryos on the normal, restorative and repair functions of the heart and blood vessels, How the stem cells contribute to myocardial recovery in the face of injury and aging, How adjuvant therapy with growth factors might enhance stem cell activity in regeneration and repair, Clinical applications and clinical experiences. This updated and fully referenced publication presents the current state of knowledge in both basic science and clinical practice, and is an essential reference for scientists, students and clinicians.
