Regenerative Hepatology and Liver Transplantation, Volume Two in the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine series, is an essential resource as no field in the biomedical sciences has seen more interest than organ transplantation with regard to regenerative medicine, primarily because of the urgent need to improve transplant outcomes and increase transplantation rates. The goal of this book is to bridge regenerative and transplant medicine by illustrating the state-of-the-art of clinical liver transplantation, as well as of the progress of regenerative medicine (RM) investigations aimed at the bioengineering, regeneration and repair of the liver.This volume will be well-recognized in the current global trend toward increasing organ donation by utilizing such cutting-edge technologies. Written by the world’s experts in the field of liver disease, it is perfect for transplant operators, researchers, regenerative medicine operators, tissue engineering operators, biotech operators, and those in academia, industry and regulatory agencies working to advance the field.
