The long history of cellular transplantation, or the transfer of cells from one organism or region of the body to another, has been revolutionized by advances in stem cell research, as well as developments in gene therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCellular Transplants: From Lab to Clinic\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thorough foundation of the basic science underpinning this exciting field, expert overviews of the state-of-the-art, and detailed description of clinical success stories to date, as well as insights into the road ahead. As highlighted by this timely and authoritative survey, scale-up technologies and whole organ transplantation are among the hurdles representing the next frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contents are organized into four main sections, with the first covering basic biology, including transplant immunology, the use of immunosuppressive drugs, stem cell biology, and the development of donor animals for transplantation. The next part looks at peripheral and reconstructive applications, followed by a section devoted to transplantation for diseases of the central nervous system. The last part presents efforts to address the key challenges ahead, such as identifying novel transplantable cells and integrating biomaterials and nanotechnology with cell matrices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Halberstadt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0123694159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780123694157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.72w x 1.42d","brand":"Craig Halberstadt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112813801727,"sku":"9780123694157","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_046d02e2-5bb1-45ef-b65f-6a3585b4dd09.jpg?v=1769611118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cellular-transplantation-craig-halberstadt-9780123694157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
