This is the first of two volumes on cardiac regeneration and repair (the second is subtitled Biomaterials and tissue engineering). Coverage begins with the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure, followed by chapters on cell therapy--optimal cells, cell delivery routes for cardiac stem cell therapy, regeneration of the ischemic heart, the feasibility of allogeneic stem cells for heart regeneration, and bone marrow cells and their role in cardiac repair after myocardial infarction, among other topics. Subsequent coverage focuses on stem cells, and on gene therapy. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

Cardiac Regeneration and Repair, Volume Two reviews the use of biomaterials, alone or combined with cell therapy, in providing tissue-engineered constructs to repair the injured heart and prevent or reverse heart failure.

Part one explores the variety of biomaterials available for cardiac repair, including nanomaterials and hydrogels. Further chapters explore the use of biomaterials to enhance stem cell therapy for restoring ventricular function and generating stem cell-modified intravascular stents. Part two focuses on tissue engineering for cardiac repair, including chapters on decellularized biologic scaffolds, synthetic scaffolds, cell sheet engineering, maturation of functional cardiac tissue patches, vascularized engineered tissues for in vivo and in vitro applications, and clinical considerations for cardiac tissue engineering. Finally, part three explores vascular remodeling, including chapters highlighting aortic extracellular matrix remodeling, cell-biomaterial interactions for blood vessel formation, and stem cells for tissue-engineered blood vessels.

Cardiac Regeneration and Repair, Volume Two is complemented by an initial volume covering pathology and therapies. Together, the two volumes ofCardiac Regeneration and Repair provide a comprehensive resource for clinicians, scientists, or academicians fascinated with cardiac regeneration, including those interested in cell therapy, tissue engineering, or biomaterials.

  • Surveys the variety of biomaterials available for cardiac repair, including nanomaterials and hydrogels.
  • Focuses on tissue engineering for cardiac repair including clinical considerations for cardiac tissue engineering
  • Explores vascular remodeling, highlighting aortic extracellular matrix remodeling, cell-biomaterial interactions for blood vessel formation, and stem cells for tissue-engineered blood vessels


Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the UK and the United States. For those who survive heart disease, few recover completely. Cell therapies, tissue engineering, and biomaterials technologies have advanced and now offer the potential to reverse the damage caused by heart disease. Chapters in Volume 2 of this important set look at biomaterials and tissue engineering strategies for regeneration and repair. The concluding section reviews vascular modeling and regeneration.
