Cellular Transplantation

Cellular Transplants: From Lab to Clinic offers an in-depth exploration of one of the most rapidly advancing areas in biomedical science. This volume captures the transformative developments in cellular transplantation, emphasizing how stem cell technologies, regenerative medicine, and gene therapy are converging to treat—and in some cases, cure—a wide range of diseases. Drawing from decades of foundational research and recent clinical breakthroughs, the book offers a balanced view of both current practice and future potential.

Richly illustrated and authored by leading experts, the text spans the full spectrum of the field, from the molecular mechanisms of cell function and immune response, to real-world clinical protocols and emerging innovations such as 3D-bioprinted tissues and xenotransplantation. It is an essential reference for clinicians, researchers, and students interested in the interface of science, engineering, and translational medicine.

Key Features:
