The Cardiovascular System

The series "Stem Cell Innovation in Health & Disease" is a timely and fascinating collection of information and new discoveries and provides a contemporary snapshot album from the fast-moving field of regenerative medicine and stem cell therapeutics. The Cardiovascular System, Volume 6 addresses the recent data accumulated on the potential applications of stem cells to treat diseases and disorders of the cardiovascular system. This volume will highlight the recent developments of cutting-edge in vitro and in vivo research tools and approaches, including the human and murine organoid cultures, genetic editing in vitro and in vivo, human iPSC models of diseases, haploid cells for genetic as well as compound screening paradigms, genetically engineered mice, and stem cell transplantation to treat cardiovascular system disorders and diseases. The volume is written for researchers and scientists in stem cell therapy, cell biology, regenerative medicine, and organ transplantation; and is contributed by world-renowned authors in the field. - Provides cutting-edge research to understand stem cell functions used in disease and disordertreatments of the cardiovascular system - Develops processes to bring stem cells from bench to bedside - Includes up to date references on stem cell biology and function in common cardiovascular system diseases and disorders
