iPSCs in Tissue Engineering

The series Advances in Stem Cell Biology is a timely and expansive collection of comprehensive information and new discoveries in the field of stem cell biology.

iPSCs in Tissue Engineering, Volume 11 addresses how induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are being used to advance tissue engineering.

Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into iPSCs by the expression of specific transcription factors. These cells have been transforming biomedical research over the last 15 years. This book will address the advances in research of how iPSCs are being used for the generation of different tissues and organs such as the lungs, trachea, salivary glands, skeletal muscle, liver, intestine, kidney, even the brain, and much more.

This volume is written for researchers and scientists interested in stem cell therapy, cell biology, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering and is contributed by world-renowned authors in the field.

• Provides overview of the fast-moving field of stem cell biology and function, regenerative medicine, and therapeutics
• Covers the engineering of the following organs: lungs, trachea, salivary glands, skeletal muscle, liver, intestine, kidney, even the brain, and more
• Is contributed from stem cell leaders around the world
