Reconstructive Transplantation and Regenerative Surgery

Reconstructive Transplantation and Regenerative Surgery: The New Frontier is the third volume in the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine Series. The past decade has witnessed the convergence of reconstructive surgery with tissue engineering and regenerative medicine leading to the inception of the new field of regenerative surgery. The driving force for such multidisciplinary integration is to overcome the current limitations of vascularized organ or tissue transplantation. In this volume the topics span graft immunomodulation (cell therapies, immunobiologics), neuroregeneration (neurobiologics) and graft targeted therapeutic (implanted local immunomodulatory/suppressive therapeutics, gene editing, immunocloaking) diagnostic strategies (non-invasive molecular/multimodality imaging of rejection, nanotheranostics), ischemia mitigation/graft preservation, multimodality imaging strategies and biosensors in graft surveillance. Reconstructive Transplantation and Regenerative Surgery: The New Frontier is written by the world’s experts in the field, it is perfect for surgeons, clinicians, trainees, scientists, and academics working to advance the field.

• Third volume in the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine Series, focusing on the vascularized organ / tissue transplantation
• Includes an overview of the field, including developments of transplantation methods and techniques
• Builds on previous works and demonstrates how regenerative and transplant medicine work together to provide an increased ability to improve health care outcomes for individuals
