Essentials of Pluripotent Stem Cell Biology

235 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Stem cells exist in different forms depending on their origin and purpose. They require a unique environment in order to survive, sustain and develop. Stem cells are divided into four categories, namely, embryonic stem cells (ESC), adult stem cells (ASC), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), and pathological stem cells (PSC). ESC and iPSC are two examples of true pluripotent stem cells. They have the ability for limitless self-renewal and can differentiate into all the specialized cell types of the body. These cells have a lot of potential applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Pluripotent stem cells hold the potential to transform treatment options for a wide variety of diseases and conditions. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts related to the biology of pluripotent stem cells. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in this area of research. For all readers who are interested in stem cell biology, the studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
