This volume focuses on the etiology and morphogenesis of congenital
heart diseases. It reviews in detail the early development and differentiation of
the heart, and later morphologic events of the cardiovascular system, covering
a wide range of topics such as gene functions, growth factors, transcription
factors and cellular interactions that are implicated in cardiac morphogenesis
and congenital heart disease. This book also presents recent advances in stem
cell and cell sheet tissue engineering technologies which have the potential to
provide novel in vitro disease models and to generate regenerative paradigms
for cardiac repair and regeneration.   This
is the ideal resource for physician scientists and investigators looking for
updates on recent investigations on the origins of congenital heart disease and
potential future therapies.
