Basic Science
Production, proliferation, differentiation, and the biological foundations of BMAC and expanded stem cells.
Orthopaedic Reference
About the Book
Edited by Mohamed A. Imam and Martyn Snow, this specialist reference examines the development of bone marrow aspirate concentrate technology and the potential role of expanded stem cells in regenerating damaged or deficient musculoskeletal tissues.
Contributions from international experts connect the underlying science with clinical research, practical orthopaedic applications, ethical considerations, risks, and the limits of current evidence.
