"The scope for improving health care using stem cell therapies is thrilling, but has considerable technical challenges and methodological constraints that need to be addressed. Keeping with the tradition of Humana Press to bring these developments to the forefront in a timely manner, this book presents scientific advances in stem cell methods for a wider use by novice and expert scientists, through the series of Methods in Molecular Biol ..."
Pluripotent Stem Cells(Reprint) Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology) by Uma Lakshmipathy, MohanC. Vemuri Paperback, 304 Pages, Published 2016 by Humana Press ISBN-13: 978-1-4939-6285-3, ISBN: 1-4939-6285-X
"This Methods in Molecular Biology™ book discusses iPSC production from diverse somatic sources, commonly used characterization methods and the potential application of labeled stem cells with specific methods for cloning, gene delivery and cell engineering."
"Over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop stem cell-based therapies for difficult to treat diseases. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, also referred to as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), appear to hold great promise in regards to a regenerative cell-based therapy for the treatment of these diseases. Currently, more than 200 clinical trials are underway worldwide exploring the use of MSCs for the treatment o ..."
"Neural stem cells offer a valuable model system for delineating the cellular and developmental processes in normal and diseased states of the central nervous system. In particular, neural stem cells have huge potential in regenerative medicine, owing to their expansion capability in culture and the ability to differentiate into multiple sub–neural lineages. Neural Stem Cell Assays provides a detailed and comprehensive review of the bas ..."
"This expanded and updated edition reflects the enormous increase in our knowledge of the development of the nervous system and the use of neural stem cells in clinical applications. Integrating new information about the use of development of neural stem cells for clinical applications, Drs. Rao, Carpenter and Vemuri have added additional chapters on neural transplantation and development of neural stem cells ..."
"Human pluripotent stem cells such as human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) with their unique developmental plasticity hold immense potential as cellular models for drug discovery and in regenerative medicine as a source for cell replacement. While hESC are derived from a developing embryo, iPSC are generated with forced expression of key transcription factors to convert adult somatic cells to ESC-li ..."
"Mesenchymal Stem Cells have seen an unprecedented level of interest in the last decade, primarily due to their relative ease of isolation, the large numbers of cells present in the adult, and the ability to propagate these cells in culture. In Mesenchymal Stem Cell Assays and Applications, expert researchers from across the globe explore the latest techniques to propagate, characterize, and engineer this special cell type. Chapters out ..."

"Developing the second edition of Neural Development and Stem Cells was neces- tated by the rapid increase in our knowledge of the development of the nervous system. It has become increasingly clear that stem cells are a heterogeneous population that changes extensively during development. Perhaps the most important advance in our understanding of stem cell behavior has been the realization that regionalization of stem cells occurs early ..."

"2011), glial restricted progenitors (GRP) (Haas et al. 2012) or oligodendrocyte
precursor cells (OPC) (Sharp et al. 2010; Windrem et al. 2004) are often used
when attempting to replace neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes,
respectively. Similarly, specific cell populations have been investigated for cell
replacement in models of ALS (Lepore et al. 2008), PD (Olanow et al. 2003; Park
et al. 2005), and HD (Ma et al. 2012). Availa ..."
"Stem cells appear to be fundamental cellular units associated with the origin of multicellular organisms and have evolved to function in safeguarding the cellular homeostasis in organ t- sues. The characteristics of stem cells that distinguish them from other cells have been the fascinating subjects of stem cell research. The important properties of stem cells, such as ma- tenance of quiescence, self-renewal capacity, and differentiatio ..."
"This extensively expanded and updated edition reflects the enormous increase in our knowledge of the development of the nervous system. Working from a new understanding that the regionalization of stem cells occurs early in development and that this bias appears to persist even after prolonged culture, Dr. Rao has added additional chapters on olfactory epithelial stem cells and retinal stem cells, both of which differ in their propertie ..."
