Download or read book Stepwise Culture of Human Adult Stem Cells written by Pranela Rameshwar and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume on stepwise techniques to culture adult human stem cells begins with the basic methods to culture adult stem cells followed by related methods to supplement stem cell culture. This and future volumes of techniques will allow laboratories across scientific entities – academic and commercial – to adapt the described methods for similar methods with cells from other species. The standardized techniques will allow across the board interpretation of other technologies such as Omics studies. These methods can be a starting platform for culturing stem cells even in laboratories that might not be familiar with the techniques. Scientific and early clinical trials strongly favor the development of translational studies with adult stem cells. A major impediment to progress in the field of regenerative medicine is a lack of standardized methods to culture specific stem cells. Such documented methods would allow for scientific rigor and reproducibility to enhance efficient and safe translation of stem cells to patients. This book fills that gap.

Download or read book Dental and Periodontal Tissues Formation and Regeneration Current Approaches and Future Challenges written by Giovanna Orsini and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequential and reciprocal interactions between oral epithelial and cranial neural crest-derived mesenchymal cells give rise to the teeth and periodontium. Teeth are vital organs containing a rich number of blood vessels and nerve fibers within the dental pulp and periodontium. Teeth are composed by unique and specific collagenous (dentin, fibrillar cementum) and non-collagenous (enamel) highly mineralized extracellular matrices. Alveolar bone is another collagenous hard tissue that supports tooth stability and function through its close interaction with the periodontal ligament. Dental hard tissues are often damaged after infection or traumatic injuries that lead to the partial or complete destruction of the functional dental and supportive tissues. Well-established protocols are routinely used in dental clinics for the restoration or replacement of the damaged tooth and alveolar bone areas. Recent progress in the fields of cell biology, tissue engineering, and nanotechnology offers promising opportunities to repair damaged or missing dental tissues. Indeed, pulp and periodontal tissue regeneration is progressing rapidly with the application of stem cells, biodegradable scaffolds, and growth factors. Furthermore, methods that enable partial dental hard tissue repair and regeneration are being evaluated with variable degrees of success. However, these cell-based therapies are still incipient and many issues need to be addressed before any clinical application. The understanding of tooth and periodontal tissues formation would be beneficial for improving regenerative attempts in dental clinics. In the present e-book we have covered the various aspects dealing with dental and periodontal tissues physiology and regeneration in 6 chapters: 1. General principles on the use of stem cells for regenerating craniofacial and dental tissues 2. The roles of nerves, vessels and stem cell niches in tissue regeneration 3. Dental pulp regeneration and mechanisms of various odontoblast functions 4. Dental root and periodontal physiology, pathology and regeneration 5. Physiology and regeneration of the bone using various scaffolds and stem cell populations 6. Physiology, pathology and regeneration of enamel using dental epithelial stem cells

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian institution of dentures sitting in a glass of water beside the bed could berendered obsolete by scientists who are confident that people will soon be able to replace lost teeth by growing new ones instead of false teeth, a small ball of cells capable of growing into a new tooth will be implanted where the missing one used to be the procedure needs only a local anesthetic and the new tooth should be fully formed within a few months of the cells being implanted. Paul Sharpe, a specialist in the field of regenerative dentistry at the Dental Institute of king's College, London, says the new procedure has distinct advantages over false teeth that require a metal post to be driven into the jaw before being capped with a porcelain or plastic tooth. The surgery today can be extensive and you need to have good solid bone in the jaw and that is a major problem for some people," The method could be used on far more patients because the ball of cells that grows in to a tooth also produces bone that anchors to the jaw. The choice of growing a new tooth is likely to appeal to patients. "Anyone who has lost teeth will tell you that, given the chance, they would rather have their own teeth than false ones," The average indian over 50 has lost 12 teeth from a set of 32. The procedure is fairly simple. Doctors take stem cells from the patient. These are unique in their ability to form any of the tissues that make up the body. By carefully nurturing the stem cells in a laboratory, scientists can nudge the cells down a path that will make them grow into a tooth. After a couple of weeks, the ball of cells, known as bud, is ready to be implanted. Tests reveal what type of tooth - for example, a molar: an incisor - the bud will form, Using a local anaesthetic, the tooth bud is inserted through a small incision into the gum. Within months, the cells will have matured into a fully-formed tooth, fused to the jawbone. As the tooth grows, it releases chemicals that encourage nerves and blood vessels to link up with it.

This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biocompatibility is an essential criteria for a dental material as to ensure safety for the patients before it is placed into the oral cavity. Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) is one of the most biocompatible dental restorative material and it has been used widely in clinical application. Nevertheless, conventional GIC has some drawbacks such as poor physical and mechanical properties hence lead to the development of nano-hydroxyapatite-silica (nano-HA-silica) fillers. These filler is added to conventional GIC to increase the material’s strength and it has undergone some evaluation in terms of its properties. We introduce this special book to give information regarding this novel material and discuss about its cytotoxicity, cell attachment and dentinogenic differention properties in response to Dental Pulp Stem Cells and selected odontogenic gene markers. It is hope that this book will provide new insight about this novel material which has the potential to be an alternative material for use in restorative dentistry.

Download or read book Human Cloning and Human Dignity written by The President's Council on Bioethics and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-03-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prospect of human cloning burst into the public consciousness in 1997, following the announcement of the successful cloning of Dolly the sheep. It has since captured much attention and generated great debate, both in the United States and around the world. Many are repelled by the idea of producing children who would be genetically virtually identical to preexisting individuals, and believe such a practice unethical. But some see in such cloning the possibility to do good for infertile couples and the broader society. Some want to outlaw it, and many nations have done so. Others believe the benefits outweigh the risks and the moral concerns, or they oppose legislative interference with science and technology in the name of freedom and progress. Complicating the national dialogue about human cloning is the isolation in 1998 of human embryonic stem cells, which many scientists believe to hold great promise for understanding and treating many chronic diseases and conditions. Some scientists also believe that stem cells derived from cloned human embryos, produced explicitly for such research, might prove to be uniquely useful for studying many genetic diseases and devising novel therapies. Public reaction to this prospect has been mixed, with some Americans supporting it in the hope of advancing biomedical research and helping the sick and the suffering, while others are concerned about the instrumentalization or abuse of nascent human life and the resulting danger of moral insensitivity and degradation.
