Tissue and Organ Regeneration in Adults Extension of the Paradigm to Several Organs

This textbook describes the basic principles of induced organ regeneration in skin and peripheral nerves and extends the original successful paradigm to other organs. A set of trans-organ rules is established and its use in regeneration of several organs is illustrated from the works of several inde...
