Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This volume contains highly original papers from the 3rd Meeting of the Hirosaki International Forum of Medical Sciences held in Japan. Six renowned specialists honored the meeting as guest speakers. The aim of the meeting was to promote multidisciplinary interaction and cooperation among researchers and physicians from all over the world. In order to keep abreast of recent developments and achieve excellence in performing transplantation in various fields, a rapid and wide exchange of experiences coupled with timely information was the highlight. The publication of New Directions for Cellular and Organ Transplantation provides one significant tool to achieve these goals.
