Scientists and engineers in a wide range of biomedical specialties explore how discoveries in basic sciences can be transformed into regenerative therapies to thwart natural aging. The topics include methodologies in cancer treatment and post-treatment tissue reconstruction, a stability analysis approach to modeling colorectal cancer, the immunogenicity of stem cells, generating scaffold-free three-dimensional cartilage-like microtissues from human chondrocytes, designing biomedical stents for vascular therapy, tactile resonance sensors for detecting and diagnosing age-related diseases, and whether activated platelet-rich plasma combined with adipose-derived stem cells can be used to treat skin wrinkles.

An innovative, pioneering and unique work, this title takes a very focused look at the aging process, its underlying mechanisms, and the current and upcoming promising regenerative technologies to slow down aging. It also looks at how to minimize the occurrence of the typical diseases and disorders that affect elderly people including arthritis, cancer, dementia (and other neurodegenerative diseases), heart disease, and even wrinkles.
