Heart Valve Regeneration
The valves of the heart cannot regenerate spontaneously. Therefore, heart valve disease generally necessitates surgical repair or replacement of the...
-
Functional Magnetic Particles for Medical Application
Magnetic particles for medical applications have been developed by many researchers. Since magnetic particles have unique magnetic features not...
-
Simultaneous In Vivo Regeneration of Neodermis, Epidermis, and Basement Membrane
Full-thickness skin loss does not undergo complete spontaneous regeneration in mammals. To restore the normal function of skin, dermal and epidermal...

Development of Culture Techniques of Keratinocytes for Skin Graft Production
The in vitro cultures of human tissues have attracted a great deal of medical attention as a promising technique for repairing defective tissues in...
-
Large-Scale Micropropagation System of Plant Cells
Plant micropropagation is an efficient method of propagating disease-free, genetically uniform and massive amounts of plants in vitro. The scale-up...

Role of subcytotoxic stress in tissue ageing
Most commonly stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) is defined as the long-term effects of subcytotoxic stress on proliferative cell types,...
-
Mammalian and bird aging, oxygen radicals, and restricted feeding
In this chapter, the relationship of aging with oxidative stress is reviewed. Endogenous tissue antioxidants do not determine aging because they...
-
Mitochondria, metabolism, and aging in yeast
Quantitative and qualitative changes in metabolism take place when the lifespan is extended in yeast either by genetic or nutritional manipulation....
-
Yeast as a model for ageing and apoptosis research
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death with a crucial role in health and disease in metazoans. Recent findings demonstrate the existence of an...
-
Large-Scale Production of Hairy Root
Many products of interest are synthesized in organized tissues, but not formed in suspension or callus culture. Therefore, most attention has been...
-
Enzymatic Synthesis of Structured Lipids
Structured lipids (SLs) are defined as lipids that are modified chemically or enzymatically in order to change their structure. This review deals...
-
Spinal Cord Regeneration
Repairing the damaged spinal cord has for a long time eluded neuroscientists. Few other achievements in neuroscience would have such a tremendous...
-
Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
The nerve chamber model has dominated the experimental study of peripheral nerve (PN) regeneration with animal models as well as in several clinical...
