Description

This textbook covers the basic aspects of stem cell research and applications in regenerative medicine. Each chapter includes a didactic component and a practical section. The book offers readers insights into: - - How to identify the basic concepts of stem cell biology and the molecular regulation of pluripotency and stem cell development. - - How to produce induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and the basics of transfection. - - The biology of adult stem cells, with particular emphasis on mesenchymal stromal cells and hematopoietic stem cells, and the basic mechanisms that regulate them. - - How cancer stem cells arise and metastasize, and their properties. - - How to develop the skills needed to isolate, differentiate and characterize adult stem The clinical significance of stem cell research and the potential problems that need to be overcome. - - Evaluating the use of stem cells for tissue engineering and therapies (the amniotic membrane) - - The applications of bio-nanotechnology in stem cell research. - - How epigenetic mechanisms, including various DNA modifications and histone dynamics, are involved in regulating the potentiality and differentiation of stem cells. - - The scientific methods, ethical considerations and implications of stem cell research. -
