Como Colaborar Con Su Equipo De Trasplantes

Xenotransplantation involves the transplantation of cells, tissues, and whole organs from one species to another. Interest in animal-to-human xenotransplants has been spurred by the continuing shortage of donated human organs and by advances in knowledge concerning the biology of organ and tissue rejection. The scientific advances and promise, however, raise complex questions that must be addressed. This book considers the scientific and medical feasibility of xenotransplantation and explores the ethical and public policy issues surrounding the possibility of renewed clinical trials. The volume focuses on the science base of xenotransplantation, public health risks of infectious disease transmission, and ethical and public policy issues, including the views of patients and their families.

The identification of the role of tumor stroma—the tissue in the surroundings of cancer cells—in cancer development, progression, and metastasis has revolutionized the fields of cancer biology as well as cancer therapeutics. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this rapidly-evolving field including tumor stroma biology, therapeutic targets, molecular imaging, and advanced tumor stroma in vitro models. The book will serve as a handbook for graduate students, postgraduate researchers, pharmaceutical scientists, and biomedical engineers.

In this, the first book of its kind, leading international authorities discuss transplantation from a variety of perspectives. Each chapter emphasizes the inluence of the person on the process and the influence of transplant on the patient. For investigators interested in the psychiatric aspects of transplantation, this text offers both a synthesis of the available literature and an extension of the current thinking, thereby providing a direction for future work. Any professional involved in the management of transplant candidateswill benefit from a greater appreciation of the relationship between the procedure and the patient that this book will convey.
