This book
represents an updated overview on selected topics related to mesenchymal stem
cells as well as induced pluripotent stem cells. The book is divided into three
main sections that cover several topics including: sources of both stem cell
types, their preparation and general properties, as well as their therapeutic
indications and clinical utilization with particular attention given to their
use in infectious diseases, osteoarthritis, as well as immunological disorders.
This volume is a valuable resource for basic biologists, translational
scientists, and clinicians.The chapters emphasize the emerging data confirming
the role of EVs in the pathogenesis of diseases and discuss the scientific
advances that have made it feasible to characterize and engineer EVs, leading to
their use as tools in biomarker discovery and disease diagnosis, prognosis,
therapeutic application, and theranostics.
