Description
Springer Gene Therapy and Cell Therapy Through the Liver Current Aspects and Future Prospects 1st Editon 2015 Hardbound by Shuji Terai, Takeshi Suda
This book reports the recent progress in gene and cell therapy through the liver and aims to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the current aspects and future prospects from basic research to clinical therapies. Edited by pioneering researchers, this volume presents extensive information to principal investigators, researchers, postdocs and clinicians for examining the wide varieties of pathological conditions both inside and outside the liver.Providing not only the basic and clinical aspects of therapy, this volume is special in that it focuses on the administrative and regulatory difficulties of actual clinical application and legal regulations in different parts of the globe. By indicating the advantages and limitations of the most promising gene and cell therapies targeting the liver, this book will inspire readers to develop a feasible treatment in the next generation. 1.
