Handbook of Regenerative Medicine: Stem Cell-Based Approach

This handbook examines stem cell research across regenerative medicine, covering the biology, characteristics and applications of mesenchymal and non-mesenchymal stem cells in a range of medical contexts. It looks at potential treatments for radiation injuries, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, aging-related diseases, osteoarthritis, Alzheimer's disease and oral surgery, addressing bench scientists and professionals across disciplines.

Later chapters explore neuronal stem cells for neural repair, myoblast implants for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and immunotherapy using nongenetically modified natural killer cells. The book also covers botanical leads combined with stem cell therapy, the role of stem cells in healthy aging and cancer, and cancer stem cells in cancer development and chemoresistance, particularly in lung, glioma and gynecologic cancers.

Further discussion includes engineering mesenchymal stem cells for bone regeneration, treating intracerebral hemorrhage, cell-free scaffolding for tissue engineering and adult stem cell disease tropism. The EPUB edition is intended for researchers, professionals and academicians in regenerative medicine, stem cell biology and medical biotechnology.
