Cell Therapy – Cellular & Tissue Xenotransplantation: Challenges, Progress & Current Applications
$25.00 – $50.00
CELL THERAPY – CELLULAR & TISSUE XENOTRANSPLANTATION: Challenges, Progress and Current Applications. The team of researchers who collaborated with Dr. Chan, pioneer of these studies, has produced a document with a strong bibliographic depth for those who wish to explore the content.
As we read in the preface: “For more than a century, xenotransplantation has been viewed as a potential solution to address the scarcity of human organs and tissue which are available for allotransplantation.
However, due to numerous obstacles, including immunological rejection, regulatory restrictions, and ethical considerations; the progress of xenotransplantation has been stagnant and largely trapped in the preclinical stage. This book explores the challenges surrounding the field of xenotransplantation, looks into possible strategies to overcome them and discusses the potential and future of this field”.

Author Bio:
Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Mike K.S. Chan is an author, educator and pioneer of Organotherapy, Cellular Therapy and Cell Membrane Therapy in Europe and Asia since the early 1980s. He founded and funded one of the world’s largest research on Bio-Molecular and Bio-Regenerative Medicine in Switzerland and Germany, with a global presence in almost eighty countries. He has conducted more than 1,000 lectures, seminars, and symposiums worldwide in the fields of organotherapy, cell therapies, age reversal, regenerative medicine, and stem-cell therapies.
Prof. Dato Sri Dr. Michelle B.F. Wong, ND, PhD is a scientist, researcher and educator actively involved in research and development (R&D) work on stem cells focusing on Fetal Precursor Stem-Cell Therapy. She is the Co-Founder/Senior Technical Advisor and Researcher in FCTI Inc., specializing in Stem cell Research and Bio-Regenerative Medicine for more than three decades. A prominent speaker, Michelle Wong presents at educational programs and global conferences on stem cells, cell therapy and biological medicine for physicians and healthcare practitioners worldwide.
