This detailed book explores a diverse range of topics related to wound healing. Some areas include wound generation as a tool to study cellular interactions and growth, mechanisms by which different tissues regenerate, ischemic wounds and their treatment, repairing corneal wound, as well as a number of emerging technologies to help promote wound regeneration, such as techniques with miRNA, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and stem cell therapies. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters feature introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Wound Regeneration: Methods and Protocols serves as a vital collection of wound model development and regeneration studies that will be of great use in both the academic and industrial fields of research.
