Regenerative Therapy Using Bloodderived Stem Cells

The third edition of this comprehensive reference on high dose cancer therapy has been overhauled, with 28 of 50 chapters either completely updated or rewritten by new authors.

Editors: Fauza, Dario O., Bani, Mahmud (Eds.)
Explores the latest research in prenatal stem cells and regenerative medicine
Covers everything from fetal stem cells and feto-maternal cell traffic through the several components of perinatal stem cells
Discusses key topics including stem cell banking, drug screening, in utero stem cell transplantation and ethical considerations

This book explores the therapeutic approaches of stem cells and stem cell-derived exosomes against neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs). The initial chapters introduce different neurodegenerative diseases and discuss the mechanistic aspects of their progression. The subsequent chapters cover strategies for the isolation, characterization, and differentiation of stem cells. In turn, the book reviews the protective role of stem cells against neurological disorders and examines regenerative approaches to treat neurological diseases using mesenchymal stem cells. The book also presents induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology for cellular therapy, drug screening, and in-vitro modeling of neurodegenerative diseases. Lastly, the book discusses the role of stem cells and derived exosomes as a novel therapeutic agent against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and in associated signaling molecules involved in neuroprotection. This book is an invaluable source for researchers working towards understanding the potential of stem cell therapy in neurodegenerative disorders.

Volume 11 in this series discusses therapeutic applications of stem cells in disease and tissue injury. Coverage includes pluripotent stem cells, which can give rise to the endodermal, ectodermal, and mesodermal lineages; multipotent stem cells, which can generate all cells in a particular lineage and unipotent stem cells, which can give rise to only one cell type.
