This book is the definitive reference on two of the most exciting areas of cardiovascular research – myocardial regeneration and stem cell therapy – for the treatment of disease. Edited by pioneers in the area, with contributions from every major investigator worldwide, it covers: The biology of stem cellsThe actions of stem cells from the bone marrow, the heart, and embryos on the normal restorative and repair functions of the heart and blood vesselsHow stem cells could contribute to myocardial recovery in the face of injury and agingHow adjuvant therapy with growth factors might enhance stem cell activity in regeneration and repairClinical applications and clinical experiencesThis fully referenced publication presents the current state of knowledge in both basic science and clinical practice, and is an essential reference for scientists, students, and clinicians.

“This book brings together the world’s foremost experts in the areas of stem cell biology and their role in cardiovascular patho-physiology. [A] highly enjoyable review of the current knowledge … and it succeeds in covering the current knowledge authoritatively. An essential book for clinicians and fundamental scientists working in this area.” (Cardiology News, December 2008) “The authors have played a major role in developing this new topic…and it is of high relevance in ongoing clinical trials and future treatment perspectives.” (Journal of the American Medical Association)
