The subject of this book is stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into different lineages of the body. Stem cells carry tremendous potential for the treatment of a broad range of disease and injuries. Stem cells exist in embryonic, foetal, and adult tissues, including the adult central nervous system. This book aims at, in depth, the recent developments in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Though this book encompasses all the fields of stem cell research and regenerative medicine, it emphasises adult neurogenesis and neural stem cell research and therapy within the context of pharmacology and therapy.
Preface; Introduction; Derivation of Embryonic Stem Cells for Cellular Therapy: Challenges and New Strategies; Neural Progenitor and Stem Cells in the Adult Central Nervous System; Adult Neural Stem Cells, Neurogenic Niches and Cellular Therapy; Adult Neural Stem Cells and Their Niches: Developmental and Therapeutic Implications; Potential of Adult Neural Stem Cells for Cellular Therapy; Autologous Transplantation in the Central Nervous System; Neural Stem Cell-based Cancer Therapy and Brain Tumor Stem Cells; Genetically Modified Stem Cells for Cellular Therapy; Conclusion and Perspectives: Stem Cells from Non-viable Versus Post-mortem Tissues; Index.
