Preface
InthisnextvolumeintheCellBiologyandTranslationalMedicineseries,we
continuetoexplorethepotentialutilityofstemcellsinregenerativemedicine.
Thechaptersinthisvolumecoverarangeoftopicsinthearea,frombiological
functionofstemcellsintranslationalstudiestotissueandorganregeneration
andrestorationoffunctioninclinicalsettings.Whatallofthechaptershavein
common is a focus on both the advances and the challenges in this rapidly
evolvingfield.
IremainverygratefultoPeterButler,EditorialDirector,andMeranLloyd-
Owen, Senior Editor, for their ongoing support of this series that we have
embarkedupon.
I would also like to acknowledge and thank Sara Germans-Huisman,
Assistant Editor, for her outstanding efforts in getting the volume to the
productionstages.
A special thank you also goes to the production crew for their work in
