Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells, Volume 8

Therapeutic Applications in Disease and Injury

Editors:

  • This volume was written by 85 contributors representing 14 countries The advantage of involving more than one author is to present different points of view on a specific controversial aspect of cancer cure and tissue regeneration
  • This volume assists readers with a more complete understanding of the causes, diagnosis, and cell-based treatment of major human diseases and debilitating tissue/organ injuries
  • The contents of the volume are divided into six subheadings for the convenience of the readers.

Part of the book series: Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells (STEM, volume 8)

About this book

It is my hope that subsequent volumes of the series will join this volume in assisting in the more complete understanding of the causes, diagnosis, and cell-based treatment of major human diseases and debilitating tissue/organ injuries. There exists a tremendous, urgent demand by the public and the scientific community to address to cancer diagnosis, treatment, cure, and hopefully prevention. Stem Cells are nature’s indispensable gift to multicellular organisms, including humans. The contents of the volume are divided into six subheadings: Stem Cell Culture, Bone Marrow Stem Cells, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Reprogramming and Differentiation of Stem Cells, Treatment, and Transplantation for the convenience of the readers.
