Contents:
The Irreversibility of Organ Injury -- Nonregenerative Tissues -- Experimental Methods I. The Anatomically Well-Defined Wound -- Experimental Methods II. The Defect Closure Rule -- Regeneration of Skin -- Regeneration of a Peripheral Nerve -- Minimum Reactants Required for Synthesis of Skin and Peripheral Nerves; Extension to Tissues of Other  Organs -- An Antagonistic Relation Between Wound Contraction and Regeneration -- Molecular biology of contraction blockade by active scaffolds -- The Scaffold Regeneration Paradigm and its Consequences.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This textbook describes the basic principles of induced organ regeneration in skin and peripheral nerves and extends the original successful paradigm to other organs. A set of trans-organ rules is established and its use in regeneration of several organs is illustrated from the works of several independent investigators who worked with a variety of organs, such as the lung, the bladder, and the Achilles tendon, using collagen-based scaffolds somewhat similar to the original one. These critical medical treatments fill the clinical need that is not met by organ transplantation. New to this second edition: New information extending the paradigm of tissue regeneration from organ regeneration in skin and peripheral nerves to other organs Guidelines, known as trans-organ rules, are described for the first time for extending this unique medical treatment to organs of several medical specialties The work serves as a comprehensive text and reference for students and practitioners of tissue engineering  .
