Transplantation, Bioengineering, and Regeneration of the Endocrine Pancreas
Transplantation, Bioengineering, and Regeneration of the Endocrine Pancreas, Volume 2, sets a new standard in transplant and regenerative medicine. The book details the state-of-the-art in modern islet auto-transplantation, also discussing current progress in regenerative medicine research in diabetes medicine. Regenerative medicine is changing the premise of solid organ transplantation, hence this volume catalogs technologies being developed and methods being implemented. Bioengineering and regenerating beta cells, clinical pancreas and islet transplantation, tissue engineering, biomaterial sciences, stem cell biology and developmental biology are all addressed and applied directly to diabetes medicine. - Provides comprehensive and cutting-edge knowledge of whole pancreas and islet transplantation - Addresses imaging, treatment, scaffold technology, the use of stem cells to generate insulin, 3D printing, and more - Offers an update on the progress of regenerative medicine research aimed at beta cell replacement for the treatment of diabetes

The Islets of Langerhans
When new fellows join my lab, I give them some reading materials so that they can orient themselves in their assignment in a new eld. When fellows leave my lab, some after writing their dissertations, I prefer to give them a book as a symbolic present. I was longing for a book that contained something on more or less eve- thing about the islets. At the same time, I wished it contained information as recent as possible. There are a few such books in the market but they are pretty outdated. I started picking islets myself from October 1990, when I joined the Rolf Luft Center, Karolinska Institutet. Over the years my fascination for islet research remained high. Since last year, I felt a strong...
The future direction toward immunological issues of allo-and xeno-islet transplantation
Islet transplantation can effectively control the blood glucose of fragile type 1 diabetes patients, thus significantly reducing hyperglycemia and improving HbA1c, and has become one of the ideal options for the treatment of type 1 diabetes patients. However, despite great progress, current islet transplantation is still limited by the isolation process, the culture period, and the rapid decline in islet functional activity after transplantation. Long-term survival and function of islet grafts are affected by non-immune and immune-related factors. To overcome these obstacles, various strategies, including stem cell combination transplantation, have been used for islet transplantation. Stem c...
Medical Understanding of Yoga (Fourth Edition)
Asanas, Shuddhi kriyas, pranayamas, etc. are all bodily manipulations that must influence human body. This book explains in easy medical terms how and what these yogic techniques can do to shape the human physiology. Taking clues from scriptures and experimenting, the author has developed fresh concepts. Creating brief intermittent hypoxia through nisshesha rechaka pranayama and drinking air to stimulate body's own GLP-1 secretion are two of them. Using this knowledge, Medical Doctors and Yoga teachers can develop their own programs for reversal of diseases like diabetes, erectile dysfunction and coronary artery disease.
Defy Aging
Shows why and how the body deteriorates as life goes on and offers an easy-read overview of new solutions coming out of current studies of aging. Wrinkles and gray hairs and misplaced keys—the obvious signs of getting older. Surprisingly, all of the miniscule events in our cells and organs that are responsible for aging begin their deterioration in our third decade. This book explains what is going on inside cells and organs that result in the outward appearances of aging. Readers will discover what causes skin to sag, hair to turn gray, blood vessels to stiffen, and other, mostly unwelcome events. Finally, and probably most importantly, the reader will be introduced to what can be done to...
Immuno-oncology and immunotherapy Part B
Immuno-oncology and immunotherapy, Part B, Volume 191 in the Methods in Cell Biology series, highlights new advances, with this volume presenting chapters on a variety of topics, including Multiparametric flow cytometry study of human MDSCs, In vitro screening methods of novel immune checkpoint inhibitors related to T cell infiltration and anti-PD-1 resistance, Machine learning approach to assess brain metastatic burden in preclinical models, Cytofluorometric analysis of the maturation and activation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells to assess immunogenic cell death, 3D agar colony inhibition assays to functionally evaluate HER2-targeting antibodies against human cancer cells elicited b...
Scaffolds in Tissue EngineeringMaterials, Technologies and Clinical Applications
Biomaterials are often designed to act as scaffolds, i.e., 3D porous templates that support and stimulate the growth of healthy tissue and then safely dissolve once they have performed their functions. This book provides a picture of the current state of the art in the field of scaffolds for tissue engineering, highlighting the potential associated to the latest scientific and technological advancements. The former part of the book focuses on the repair of "hard" tissues (primarily bone) by means of bioceramic/glass scaffolds, and the latter deals with the applications of polymeric scaffolds for regenerating "soft" tissues and structures including the peripheral nerve, heart, gastric mucosa and pancreas. Special emphasis is given to the challenges associated to scaffold manufacturing, biomimetic properties and cell-scaffold interactions.
