Preface

Regenerative medicine has emerged as an innovative scientific field that focuses on developing new approaches to repairing cells, tissues, and organs. Over the years, many therapeutic strategies have been developed to address clinical shortcomings by enhancing cellular functions and building viable tissues and organs in the field of medicine. This book gathers recent research and clinical efforts on regenerative medicine applications in urology. Specifically, this multidisciplinary book contains reviews on the development of clinical approaches, which combine stem/progenitor cells with biomaterials and scaffolds and growth factors and other bioactive agents in the field of urology. Clinical Regenerative Medicine in Urology aims to provide clinicians and researchers a broad perspective on the development of regenerative medicine technologies with the intention of disseminating regenerative medicine principles and various therapeutic approaches that target clinical applications in urology. These include upper and lower urinary tract dysfunctions, urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder, and erectile dysfunction. I would like to thank the a
