Organ Repair and Regeneration

"The book is written in a comprehensive, yet digestible manner and meets its objectives. It is a unique and needed contribution to the field." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2021, Kelly M. Collins, MD(Henry Ford Hospital) reviewer, expert opinion "This book demonstrates the merging of regenerative medicine and organ transplantation. Key Features: Covers all aspects of organ preservation, repair and regeneration; Addresses the repair of organs that experience an Ischemia/Reperfusion (I/R) injury, those that are intended for transplantation, and specific issues related to each organ; Presented by editors and authors who are physicians, surgeons and researchers in the field of organ transplantation and regenerative medicine." --Anticancer Research "This is the latest in a series of textbooks published by Academic Press/Elsevier, edited or co-edited by Dr. Giuseppe Orlando, in the broad field of organ transplantation and covering all aspects of organ regeneration, from technological advances in organ preservation and reperfusion to regenerative medicine [1–3]. Orlando is a kidney and pancreas transplant surgeon from Wake Forest University, a unique environment in which a strong transplant programme coexists with a world-renowned institute of regenerative medicine, led by Dr. Anthony Atala. Organ Repair and Regeneration is a 289-page book co-edited by Orlando and Dr. Shaf Keshavjee, who has been a pioneer in the reconditioning of marginal lung grafts. The book is divided into 14 chapters written by authors from North America, Europe and Australia. In his foreword to this book, Dr. Atala sets the stage for what readers can expect from this book: ‘...we have developed a surrogate field of science called ‘organ preservation’ that –to the editors of this book – represents the most formidable platform nowadays for the application of regenerative medicine technologies in transplant medicine’ [4]. The book is divided into 14 chapters that can each be read as an independent review article. It is introduced by a chapter describing the concepts and molecular mechanisms of ischaemia-reperfusion injury that will be a reference for all further chapters of the book." --Transplant International
