Stem CellsTherapeutic Applications\nAuthor(s): Mariusz Z. Ratajczak\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\nISBN-13: 9783030312053, 978-3030312053\nSynopsis\nSince different types of stem cells for therapeutic applications have recently been proposed, this timely volume explores various sources of stem cells for tissue and organ regeneration and discusses their advantages and limitations. Also discussed are pros and cons for using embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and adult stem cells isolated from postnatal tissues. Different types of adult stem cells for therapeutic applications are also reviewed, including hematopoietic stem cells, epidermal stem cells, endothelial progenitors, neural stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and very small embryonic-like stem cells. This book also addresses paracrine effects of stem cells in regenerative medicine that are mediated by extracellular microvesic.
