Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine: Patents and Clinical Trials (Stem Cells - Laboratory and Clinical Research Series)

This book aims at providing an overview and in depth analysis of recent developments in stem cell research and therapy. It is composed of recently published review articles that went through peer-review process. Stem cells are the building blocks of the body. They can develop into any of the cells that make up our bodies. Stem cells hold a great deal of hope for the treatment of a broad range of diseases and injuries, spanning from cancers, diabetes, genetic diseases, graft-versus-host disease, eye, heart and liver diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, to neurological diseases and injuries. These include neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, cerebral strokes, and traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Therefore, Stem cell research is as important for understanding of the physio- and pathology of the body, as for development and therapy, including the nervous system. Volume V provides an overview and in depth analysis of recent developments in the front of patent applications filed and clinical trials initiated in the field of stem cells, in the aim of introducing stem cell research into therapy.

Annotation. The subject of this book is stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into different lineages of the body. Stem cells carry tremendous potential for the treatment of a broad range of disease and injuries. Stem cells exist in embryonic, foetal, and adult tissues, including the adult central nervous system. This book aims at, in depth, the recent developments in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Though this book encompasses all the fields of stem cell research and regenerative medicine, it emphasises embryonic and adult stem cells v. 1. Adult neurogenesis and neural stem cells v. 2. Embryonic and adult stem cells v. 3. Pharmacology and therapy v. 5. patents and clinical trials
