Professor Barbara Zavan

Dr. Zavan is an Associate Professor at the University Of Padova Department Of Biomedical Sciences in Padova, Italy, where she also earned her PhD in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. She heads the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory in the Department of Biomedical Sciences. Additionally, Dr. Zavan belongs to several scientific societies including the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS) and the American Nano Society, and has authored several publications in international research journals.

Dr. Zavan’s research seeks to understand the impact of stem cell activity on tissue homeostasis and repair as well as the role of systemic molecules or surfaced modification in the regulation of regenerative potential.

Blurb

This book focuses on the basic aspects of dental stem cells (DSCs) as well as their clinical applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It opens with a discussion of classification, protocols, and properties of DSCs and proceeds to explore DSCs within the contexts of cryopreservation; epigenetics; pulp, periodontal, tooth, bone, and corneal stroma regeneration; neuronal properties, mesenchymal stem cells and biomaterials; and as sources of hepatocytes for liver disease treatment. The fifteen expertly authored chapters comprehensively examine possible applications of DSCs and provide invaluable insights into mechanisms of growth and differentiation.

Dental Stem Cells: Regenerative Potential draws from a wealth of international perspectives and is an essential addition to the developing literature on dental stem cells.  This installment of Springer’s Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine series is indispensable for biomedical researchers interested in bioengineering, dentistry, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, cell biology and oncology.
