This Volume of the series Cardiac and Vascular Biology offers a comprehensive and exciting
state-of-the-art work on the current options and potentials of cardiac regeneration and
repair.Several techniques and approaches have been developed for heart failure repair: direct
injection of cells programming of scar tissue into functional myocardium and
tissue-engineered heart muscle support. The book introduces the rationale for these different
approaches in cell-based heart regeneration and discusses the most important considerations for
clinical translation. Expert authors discuss when why and how heart muscle can be
salvaged.The book represents a valuable resource for stem cell researchers cardiologists
bioengineers and biomedical scientists studying cardiac function and regeneration.
