Principles of Regenerative Medicine 3rd Edition PDF by Anthony Atala (Editor), Robert Lanza (Editor), Tony Mikos (Editor), Robert Nerem (Editor)

The textbook Principles of Regenerative Medicine was created as a primary resource for scientists, clinicians, teachers, and students from academia, industry, and government, as well as the public at large. The initial edition was the first comprehensive body of work dedicated entirely to the field and quickly became the most relevant textbook in the arena of regenerative medicine. The first and second editions of the textbook have had broad appeal and are currently ranked as the most distributed textbooks in the field. I am honored to have had the opportunity to continue to edit the
textbook, now in its third edition, with our coeditors, Robert Lanza, Tony Mikos, and Robert Nerem. We welcome Tony Mikos as a new editor and would like to thank Jamie Thomson for his contributions to the first two editions. The contributions of the editors cannot be overestimated. We are indebted to their vision and the strong foundation they have created, upon which the current text was built.
The specialty of regenerative medicine continues to grow and change rapidly. There have been major areas of advances in just the past few years. The field encompasses multiple areas of scientific inquiry, each of which is complex, but together they are a powerful combination of technologies, such as stem cells, gene editing, nuclear transfer, proteomics, pharmacology, nanotechnology, tissue engineering, three-dimensional printing, and bio-manufacturing. We are now in an era of translation of bench site discoveries to clinical therapies. We hope that this ebook will enlighten all of these areas and supply guidance where it is most needed.
The textbook was organized in a manner that builds upon the basic science of the field and goes forward into clinical applications and possible clinical utility. The textbook is organized into seven major areas, starting with chapters that encompass some of the fundamentals of the field. The biologic and molecular bases of regenerative medicine are covered with the molecular, mechanistic, and phenotypic aspects of cells and the extracellular matrix.
The second section encompasses cells and tissue development, dealing with the various types of cells and determinants of tissue formation. The third section explores the mechanical, physical, and morphogenetic aspects of regenerative medicine, including nanotechnology applications. The fourth section is dedicated to the area of bio-materials for regenerative medicine. The fifth section covers enabling technologies for regenerative medicine, including infection control, gene editing, preclinical models, bioreactors, bioprinters, and body-on-a-chip applications. The sixth section discusses the topics of therapeutic applications and deals mostly with specific tissue and organ types. The last section of the book is dedicated to the regulatory, manufacturing, policy, and ethical aspects of the field.
This area is becoming increasingly more important because the nexus between science, safety, and ethics is constantly changing. The third edition of the Principles of Regenerative Medicine builds on the knowledge base of the prior editions; most relevant chapters have been updated and other relevant topics are added with the inclusion of new chapters.
Once again, the leading scientists and physicians in the field have contributed their expertise to this comprehensive collection. We would like to thank all of the authors for their contributions; the publisher, Elsevier, and its staff, including Timothy Bennett, who worked diligently to complete the book; and our commissioning editors, Micah Lewis and Elizabeth Brown, who nurtured this project from its concept to completion
