Alexander Battler and Jonathan Leor 2006 Frontiers in Regenerative Medicine The human body has limited potential to rejuvenate injured organs and tissues. An old dream of scientists and physicians is to be able to rebuild “spare parts” to replace injured or diseased tissues—a notion that was once referred to as the field of science fiction. The new discipline […]

Jai Raman Editor 2016 As I sit here, thinking about the field of heart failure, what springs to mind are the unsung heroes that pervade the arena – right from transplant coordinators to rehabilitation therapists, from heart failure cardiologists to transplant surgeons, critical care physicians to transplant pharmacists, etc. All this becomes more personal, in light of the recent […]
