Preface

In this next volume in the Cell Biology and Translational Medicine series, we continue to explore the potential utility of stem cells in regenerative medicine. Chapters in this volume cover a range of topics in the area, including developmental aspects and role of the stem cell niche, function of decellularized scaffolds, and the potential of iPS cells in tissue and organ regeneration. Collectively, the chapters continue to cover crucial aspects in translational studies of tissue and organ regeneration and restoration of function in clinical settings. I remain very grateful to Peter Butler, Editorial Director, and Meran LloydOwen, Senior Editor, for their support of this series from its inception and for helping to foster its success until now. I would like, in addit
