Regenerative Medicine, Stem Cells and the Liver

Informationen zum Autor David C. Hay Klappentext The regenerative capacity of the liver has been recognized for centuries, but when it is overwhelmed by insulting stimuli or is chronically damaged, its regenerative capability is substantially reduced or lost. This book examines the potential that stem cell-based approaches have to offer.
