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.
Stromal cells are connective tissue cells
of any organ. This book will prove highly useful for students, researchers, and
clinicians in stem cell biology, developmental biology, cancer biology,
pathology and oncology. Goal of this book is to consolidate the recent advances
in the area of stromal stem cell biology covering a broad range of interrelated
topics in a timely fashion and to disseminate that knowledge in a lucid way to a
greater scientific audience.
Myelomonocytes are the
multipotent cells in the stage of blood cell differentiation, which mainly
comprise blood monocytes, tissue macrophages and subset of dendritic cells. The
present volume shows an extensive area of current immunology research.Topics
covered includes: Phenotypic Markers and Functional Regulators of Myelomonocytic
Cells, Dendritic Cells, The Biological Function of Kupffer Cells in Liver
Disease, The Role of Monocytes or Macrophages in HBV and HCV Infection,
Myelomonocytic Cell Lines in Modeling HIV-1 Infection of the Bone Marrow.

Junctions, Cell Adhesion and ECM, Nervous System.
This note explains the following topics: Epigenetic mechanisms controlling mesodermal specification, Imaging chromatin in
embryonic stem cells, Epigenetic silencing during early lineage commitment, The
chromatin signature of pluripotent cells, Stem cells, cancer, and epigenetics.
