Produktbeschreibung

Transplantation, Bioengineering, and Regeneration of the Endocrine Pancreas, Volume 2, sets a new standard in transplant and regenerative medicine. The book details the state-of-the-art in modern islet auto-transplantation, also discussing current progress in regenerative medicine research in diabetes medicine. Regenerative medicine is changing the premise of solid organ transplantation, hence this volume catalogs technologies being developed and methods being implemented. Bioengineering and regenerating beta cells, clinical pancreas and islet transplantation, tissue engineering, biomaterial sciences, stem cell biology and developmental biology are all addressed and applied directly to diabetes medicine.

• Provides comprehensive and cutting-edge knowledge of whole pancreas and islet transplantation
• Addresses imaging, treatment, scaffold technology, the use of stem cells to generate insulin, 3D printing, and more
• Offers an update on the progress of regenerative medicine research aimed at beta cell replacement for the treatment of diabetes
