Book SynopsisA scientist assesses the potential of stem cell therapies for treating such brain disorders as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.Stem cell therapies are the subject of enormous hype, endowed by the media with almost magical qualities and imagined by the public to bring about miracle cures. Stem cells have the potential to generate new cells of different types, and have been shown to do so in certain cases. Could stem cell transplants repair the damaged brain? In this book, neurobiologist Jack Price assesses the potential of stem cell therapies to treat such brain disorders as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries.Certainly brain disorders are in need of effective treatments. These disorders don't just kill, they disable, and conventional drug therapies have not had much success in treating them. Price explains that repairing the human brain is difficult, largely because of its structural, functional, and developme

Book SynopsisThe normal functioning of the human female reproductive system is sacrosanct, as it allows for the essential nurturing of offspring. Conditions such as endometriosis and fibroid formation can have devastating consequences to the progeny, as well as the parents, both physically and mentally. This book has several chapters that deal with the role of stem cells in the safer outcome of pregnancies. Mesenchymal stem cells continue to make waves as various researchers dwell on their low immunogenicity to prevent graft rejection when used for therapeutic strategies. Dental pulp-derived stem cells are being sought after to address many therapies. However, researchers must exercise ethical caution to avoid resorting to pulling out the teeth of live, healthy animals, including those qualified for pets. The efficacy of cancer treatments with naturally occurring plant-derived substances and the characterization of cancer stem cells and lesions continue to engage researchers of this ever-perennial disease and its potentially lethal pathology. Stem cells to replenish the pancreatic islet cells from induced pluripotent stem cells are an actively pursued subject in regenerative medicine for diabetes patients. Stem cells in immune responses are also attracting researchers to investigate immune tolerance and autoimmunity.Table of ContentsPreface; Stem Cells of Female Reproductive System: Endometrium vs Fallopian Tube; Anti-angiogenic Potential of Itraconazole and Its Reversal by Endometrial Stem Cells Using Chick Embryo Model; Intrauterine Infusion of Human Autologous Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Improves In Vitro Fertilization Success in Infertile Women; Development and Characterization of Hematopoietic Stem Cells from Human Embryonic Stem Cells; Mutation Analysis of MTHFR Gene in Indian Women with Unexplained Recurrent Miscarriages; Folic Acid Supplementation Improves Pregnancy Outcomes; Comparison of the Proliferation Potential of Bone Marrow and Adipose- Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Cultivating on Human Amniotic Membrane; Efficacy of the Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapy Combined with Core Decompression in Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Clinical Trials; Proliferation Capacity and Osteogenic Potential of Human Gingival Stem Cells versus Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells; Comparison between the Effect of MTA and Biodentine on Proliferation and Odontogenic Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells (In Vitro Study); The Monomeric Resins TEGDMA and HEMA Regulate the Transcriptional Control of Matrix Metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9, in Human Pulp Fibroblasts and Mesenchymal Stem Cells; Effect of Dental Stem Cells on T Cell Proliferation; Amount of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2, Epidermal Growth Factor, and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Adipose Tissue, Umbilical Cord, and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived Secretome: An In-Vitro Study; Identified Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) in Ex- Vivo Cultured Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (B-ALL) Cells; Role of Simarouba glauca DC Plant in Cancer: A Short Review; Study of Histomorphological Spectrum of Thyroid Lesions in Thyroidectomy Specimens, Along with Cytological Correlation: Cross Sectional Study from 2015 to 2018; Generation of Pancreatic β Cells from Peripheral Blood Mononucleocytes Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells; Stem Cells: An Exciting Avenue for Diabetes Mellitus; Regenerations Role in the Development of Desensitization and Immunological Tolerance; Features of the Immune Response to Ones Own Antigens and Foreign Antigens; Regenerative Approach to the Treatment of COVID-19 Patients; Medical Applications of Infrared Thermography: A Narrative Review; Index.
