Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: Overcoming Challenges brings together the most recent and relevant advances in the field of peripheral nerve regeneration. The book takes a translational approach, exploring aspects ranging from fundamental research to the clinical and surgical application of new therapies associated with peripheral nerve regeneration. The chapters are grouped into sections: basic principles of research, followed by cellular and molecular mechanisms, innovative biomaterials and tissue engineering, cell-based therapies, and finally medial, medicinal and conservative approaches. Chapters are authored by leaders in the field for researchers, as well as doctors and surgeons dedicated to the field of regenerative medicine.
- Provides new knowledge about peripheral nerve injury and the regeneration process
- Includes new advances in therapies delveloped for treatment of the peripheral nerve after injury
- Written by global experts in peripheral nerve regeneration
