First textbook on regenerative medicine by Vladimir Mironov (Charleston, SC, USA)  5 Stars
November 05, 2006
Regenerative medicine is a booming field of biomedical science and technology with great promises. Regenerative medicine conferences, congresses, research centers and companies are growing in numbers like mushrooms after the rain. However, there is no a single comprehensive textbook on regenerative medicine suitable for teaching course on regenerative medicine. The reviewed book is definately a important milestone or landmark publication. It is richly illustrated, carefully organized and well written introductory textbook on regenerative medicine created by the great expert in the field of regenerative biology. It pays an equal respect to regenerative biology as a basic science and regenerative medicine as a biomedical technology. Although as usually for first edition of any textbook there is a lot of room for improvement and perfection (for example, information about tissue engineering of heart valves is completlely missing), the author who has multi-years practical experience of teaching of such course and several decades doing active research in this field have done fantastic job and accomplished a titanic task of finding, reviewing, compacting and organizing of a huge volume accumulated information and created an excellent introductory textbook on regenerative medicine. This book is highly recommended and it deserves a special award and recognition.
