tailieunhanh - GANGRENE – CURRENT CONCEPTS AND MANAGEMENT OPTIONS

The two prerequisites for the successful engineering of an organ are suitable cells and a biomaterial or extra celluar matrix component. A large variety of cells has been proposed for the use in tissue engineering, including pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESC) with all their ethical controversies, adult stem cells found in most tissues, and committed precursor cells. While the plasticity of ESC offers the potential to grow an entire organ from a single cell source, the clear differentiation of these cells remains challenging | GANGRENE - CURRENT CONCEPTS AND MANAGEMENT OPTIONS Edited by Alexander A.
