Cardiovascular regeneration therapies using tissue engineering approaches

"With input from many of the leading researchers and practitioners, this book describes techniques for therapeutic angiogenesis and vasculogenesis for the treatment of ischemic diseases and examines the current approaches to angiogenic cytokines, cardiovascular stem cells, and tissue-engineering tools. The latest clinical results using bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell therapy for intractable circulatory disorders are also covered. This body of work will be a valuable resource for professionals in the fields of cardiovascular surgery, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering."--BOOK JACKET.
