Handbook of Regenerative MedicinePainos 1

This handbook comprehensively explores various facets of stem cells in regenerative medicine, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the research. It covers the biology, characteristics, and applications of mesenchymal and non-mesenchymal stem cells in diverse medical contexts. The potential for treating radiation injuries, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, aging-related diseases, osteoarthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and oral surgery is thoroughly investigated, engaging bench scientists and professionals from various fields worldwide.

Furthermore, it delves into the potential of neuronal stem cells for neural repair, myoblast implants for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and immunotherapy using nongenetically modified natural killer cells. Handbook of Regenerative Medicine: Stem Cell-Based Approach also uncovers the possibilities of botanical leads combined with stem cell therapy and explores the role of stem cells in promoting healthy aging and cancer. Additionally, the book sheds light on the role of cancer stem cells, their intricate role in cancer development and chemoresistance, particulary in lungs, gliomas and gynecologic cancers, and their significance as targets in cancer treatment for better prognosis.

The chapters discuss the potential of engineering mesenchymal stem cells for bone regeneration and treating intracerebral hemorrhage. Toward the end, the book elucidates cell-free scaffolding for tissue engineering, adult stem cell disease tropism, and the evolving strategies in regenerative medicine. It is intended for researchers, professionals, and academicians in regenerative medicine, stem cell biology, and medical biotechnology.
