Shiffman (Editor) Full Title: Regenerative Medicine And Plastic Surgery: Elements, Research Concepts And Emerging Technologies Publisher: Springer; 1st ed. 2019 edition (November 26, 2019) Year: 2019 ISBN-13: 9783030199586 (978-3-030-19958-6), 9783030199579 (978-3-030-19957-9) ISBN-10: 3030199584, 3030199576 Pages: 472 Language: English Genre: Medicine: Surgery File type: PDF (True) Quality: 10/10 Price: 171.19 € This book discusses the current research concepts and the emerging technologies in the field of stem cells and tissue engineering. It is the first authoritative reference documenting all the ways that plastic surgical practice and regenerative medicine science overlap or provide a road map for the future of both specialties. The Editors have provided a valuable service by gathering in one place the leading voices in these two fields in clear and concise manner. Divided into five parts, the book opens with a description of the elements of regenerative medicine including definitions, basic principles of soft and bone tissue regeneration, biomaterials and scaffolds. Current research concepts are explored in the second part of this book, for example mechanotransduction and the utility of extracellular vesicles. In the third part, the editors present the emerging technologies and highlight the novel perspectives on bionic reconstruction and biomimetics in surgery and regenerative medicine. Part four deals with translational aspects including practical information on moving scientific findings from bench to bedside. The final part then describes in detail applications in clinical plastic surgery. Written by leading experts this book is an invaluable resource for researchers, students, beginners and experienced clinicians in a range of specialties. ------------- Our members see more. Join us!
