Regenerative therapy has rapidly developed as one of the most promising treatments for patients suffering from severe heart failure. Autologous bone marrow-derived cells and cardiac stem cells have been clinically applied for cell injection therapy for heart failure. As a next-generation therapy, tissue-engineered myocardial-patch transplantation has also been started clinically. As further advanced therapy, several researchers have started to fabricate three-dimensional beating myocardial tissues. One of the main problems in myocardial tissue engineering is neovascularization within the tissues during scale-up. Several innovative technologies have been developed to overcome the vascularization problem.
This book broadly summarizes myocardial tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, which consists of myocardial cell sources, cell therapy for damaged hearts, and tissue engineering technologies for fabricating beating hearts. With respect to myocardial cell source, it focuses on cardiac cells differentiated from embryonic stem and induced pluripotent stem cells. It describes the remarkable results obtained in the past and the present to control neovascularization and presents the future challenges in myocardial tissue engineering research.
Tatsuya Shimizu is a professor at the Institute of Advanced Biomedical Engineering and Science (ABMES), Tokyo Women’s Medical University, Japan. He received his PhD in medicine from Tokyo University, Japan. His areas of expertise are myocardial tissue engineering based on cell sheet technology, neovascularization in myocardial tissue grafts for scaling-up, and tissue factory fabrication for industrialization of regenerative medicine. He has 96 publications to his credit. He has received the Takagi Award, Intelligent Materials and Systems Forum (2001); best poster award, 5th International Meeting of Tissue Engineering Society (2002); Young Investigator’s Award, the Japanese Circulation Society (2002); The 2003 award of the Medical Association of Tokyo Women’s Medical University; Best Oral communication Award, Annual TERMIS-EU Meeting (2006); The Award of Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine, the Japanese Circulation Society (2007); The Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Research Category) (2009); The 7th Monozukuri cooperation Award, Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Ltd. (2012); and Japan Heart Foundation Satoh Memorial Award, The Japanese Circulation Society (2014). His current research interests are vascularization and heart engineering.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Majestic Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
