In this methods guide for regenerative medicine for restoring or replacing damaged tissues and organs, Soto-Gutierrez (pediatric transplantation, U. of Pittsburgh) and colleagues at Pittsburgh and Columbia University Immunology introduce 14 chapters in which international experts provide clear, detailed instructions on techniques and protocols used in the field. Cell-based therapeutics spans medicine, biology, chemistry, genetics, bioengineering, and computer science, and may incorporate cells, grown tissues, laboratory-made compounds, and engineered organs. Protocols include the experimental design, methods (e.g., choice of cell sources), color images, anticipated results, discussion and commentary, application notes, summary points, and trouble- shooting tips. A list of acronyms and abbreviations is included. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
