Biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare, from cancer screening to diagnosing HIV, from blood transfusion for surgery to food poisoning and infection control. Without biomedical scientists the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment, and research into the causes and cures of disease would not be possible. <p/>The <em>Fundamentals of Biomedical Science</em> series has been written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a Biomedical Scientist may be exposed--from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science. <p/><em>Histopathology</em> describes the processes and practices that are central to the role of the histopathology biomedical scientist, from presampling to diagnosis to laboratory management. It demonstrates throughout how an understanding of cell and tissue physiology is vital to the successful identification of clinical conditions.

<p>This volume deals with the most advanced areas of reactivation of the cell cycle in terminally differentiated cells. Terminally differentiated cells have long been regarded as irreversibly unable to proliferate. However, this view is being overturned, with great implications for both biological knowledge and potential therapeutic applications. </p> <p>The basic science is presented in detail and the potentialities for exploitation in cell replacement therapy and tissue repair are highlighted. For the first time, large parts of this research field are covered in a single resource, contributed by scientists who have given the most to its advancement in recent years. This volume will be valuable for young scientists wishing to enter this field and will serve as an authoritative reference for those already working in it. </p>
