This 2-volume set discusses the current research concepts and the emerging technologies in the field of stem cells and tissue engineering, and presents the latest advances in the field of regenerative medicine in plastic surgery.
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.
Written by leading experts this set is an invaluable resource for researchers, students, beginners and experienced clinicians in a range of specialties.
"In your hands is a comprehensive encyclopedia of two rapidly converging fields. Drs Duscher and Shiffman have done an outstanding job of highlighting the interdependent relationship between plastic surgery and regenerative medicine. Ultimately, this is to the benefit of both fields."
