Resident Stem Cells and Regenerative Therapy, 2nd Edition
Author: Regina Coeli Dos Santos Goldenberg
This book, Resident Stem Cells and Regenerative Therapy: Sources and Clinical Applications, Second Edition, explores the key discoveries made so far and the essential elements to consider when discussing resident stem cells in regenerative therapies.
Each chapter focuses on resident stem cells in specific organs such as skeletal muscle, bone, pancreas, liver, kidney, heart, brain, neural tissue, skin, and lungs. These chapters provide insights into the progress made and the future direction in the field of regenerative therapies.
The book also addresses unresolved questions regarding resident stem cells and their applications in regenerative therapies. It incorporates the contributions and perspectives of top laboratories in the field.
Over the past few decades, stem cells have had a significant impact on both the scientific community and the general public. They have made remarkable advancements in the treatment of severe human diseases, including diabetes, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and osteoporosis.
The discovery of adult stem cells in various tissues coincided with discussions on induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells.
Due to the complexity of organ structures, resident or progenitor stem cells present both obstacles and opportunities for tissue regeneration.
This book highlights fundamental studies on tissue-specific stem cells, animal model investigations, and clinical trials that are revolutionizing the field of regeneration.
It provides a detailed explanation of endogenous stem cells and their function in current regenerative medicine, as well as future research prospects.
The primary literature included in the book encompasses reports on mainstream therapeutic techniques and in-vivo tests, which aid in classifying advancements in regenerative treatments and offer insights into potential clinical applications.
