Regenerative therapy has rapidly developed as one of the most promising treatments for patients suffering from severe heart failure. Autologous bone marrow-derived cells and cardiac stem cells have been clinically applied for cell injection therapy for heart failure. As a next-generation therapy, tissue-engineered myocardial-patch transplantation has also been started clinically. As further advanced therapy, several researchers have started to fabricate three-dimensional beating myocardial tissues. One of the main problems in myocardial tissue engineering is neovascularization within the...

This is the first experimental protocol book that covers the differentiation of bone marrow derived stem cell (BMSC) into specific cell type, targeted at the undergraduate and graduate student level. The 19 chapters deal with the differentiation methods using small molecules, cytokines and polymeric scaffolds. BMSCs are pluripotential in that they not only act as myelo-regenerative and supportive cells, but can also differentiate into almost kinds of cells in our body. In addition, when implanted in vivo, they could help repair multiple tissue such as blood vessels, heart, liver and so on. ...
