iPSCs - State of the Science

The series Advances in Stem Cell Biology is a timely and expansive collection of comprehensive information and new discoveries in the field of stem cell biology. Molecular Players in iPSC Technology , Volume 16 addresses how important induced pluripotent stems cells are and how can they be derived from different sources. Obtaining induced pluripotent stem cells is a major hurdle when using primary patient-derived disease-affected cellular populations, which represent the ‘gold standard’ for disease modeling. This volume will address the advances in research of how induced pluripotent stem cells from alternate sources, such as: spermatogonial stem cells, ovarian tissue, cancer cells and many other sources. The volume is written for researchers and scientists in stem cell therapy, cell biology, regenerative medicine and organ transplantation; and is contributed by world-renowned authors in the field. Provides overview of the fast-moving field of stem cell biology and function, regenerative medicine and therapeuticsCovers iPSCs derived from amniotic fluid, oral tissue derived iPSCs, muse cells, postmortem tissue and much moreContributed by world-renown experts in the field
