In Vivo Reprogramming in Regenerative Medicine

There have been significant improvements in the development of cell based therapies; however, current treatment strategies still suffer from some problems: the need for long in vitro culture conditions, inefficient delivery of cells by scaffolds and low i

Preface

This new volume, as a part of Springer’s Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine series, is dedicated to review the current progress on different approaches of in vivo reprogramming technology. Leaders in the field discuss how in vivo reprogramming can be used for tissue repair and regeneration in different organs, including the pancreas (Chap. 2), liver (Chap. 3), and heart (Chap. 4). Recent studies on in vivo cell reprogramming toward pluripotency are also reviewed; examples are given in order to show its potential in regenerative medicine (Chaps. 5 and 6). In each chapter, the regenerative potential of different in vivo reprogramming approaches is discussed in detail. Examples from various animal models are given, and the regenerative potential
