Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first successful isolation and cultivation of human embryonic stem cells at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1998, there has been high levels of both interest and controversy in this area of research.This book provides a concise overview of an exciting field, covering the characteristics of both human embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem cells from other human cell lineages. The following chapters describe state-of-the-art differentiation and characterization of specific ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm-derived lineages from human embryonic stem cells, emphasizing how these can be used to study human developmental mechanisms. A further chapter discusses genetic manipulation of human ES cells. The concluding section covers therapeutic applications of human ES cells, as well as addressing the ethical and legal issues that this research have raised.

Download or read book Stem Cells in Modeling Human Genetic Diseases written by Mayana Zatz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most stem cell books focus on basic aspects and/or cell therapy, this book emphasizes the relevance of stem cells obtained from patients, the so-called “patients in a petri dish” as tools to investigate human genetic diseases for which there are no available effective treatment. Chapters embrace several examples of the use of iPS cell technology, a recent Nobel Prize-winning scientific breakthrough, to obtain patient-specific pluripotent cells from which many types of specialized cells involved in a particular disease can be generated, including psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, muscular dystrophies, laminopathies, among others. The text is a current and timely resource for postgraduate students, scientists and clinicians, interested in applications of this rapidly developing field of research in disease modeling, drug development, and emerging issues that it brings to regenerative medicine.

Download or read book Embryonic Stem Cells as a Developmental Model in Vitro written by A. M. Wobus and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pluripotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells have been widely used to create mutant mice that pass genetic modifications to their offspring through germ-line transmission. ES cells also have the capacity to differentiate in vitro into cells of endo- dermal, ectodermal and mesodermal lineages. This special issue of Cells Tissues Organs contains articles covering the properties and potential of pluripotent ES cells in culture. Molecular mecha- nisms regulating self-renewal and differentiation of ES cells and the expression pattern of Oct-4, a key regulator of totipotency during the mammali- an life cycle, are described. Several articles review the present knowledge of ES cell-derived neuro- genic, adipogenic, myogenic, cardiovascular and hematopoietic differentiation. The developmental capacity of ES cells as the basis for an in vitro embryotoxicity screening system is presented, and one chapter describes attempts to establish pluri- potent cell lines from other species, including the most recent strategies to introduce genetic modifi- cations into livestock animals by nuclear transfer. A promising area of research has been the isolation of pluripotent stem cells of human origin and their prospective use in tissue transplantations - a topic addressed in the final chapter.
Download or read book Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research written by Committee on Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research and published by National Academy Press. This book was released on 2005-08-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1998, the volume of research being conducted using human embryonic stem (hES) cells has expanded primarily using private funds because of restrictions on the use of federal funds for such research. Given limited federal involvement, privately funded hES cell research has thus far been carried out under a patchwork of existing regulations, many of which were not designed with this research specifically in mind. In addition, hES cell research touches on many ethical, legal, scientific, and policy issues that are of concern to the public. This report provides guidelines for the conduct of hES cell research to address both ethical and scientific concerns. The guidelines are intended to enhance the integrity of privately funded hES cell research by encouraging responsible practices in the conduct of that research.

Download or read book The Human Placenta written by C. Redman and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1993-01-18 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The placenta is fascinating and complex. Basically foreign to the maternal body, it can be thought of as an organ transplanted onto the mother's host tissue. As such it embodies all the principles of tissue acceptance and rejection. Many of the risks of pregnancy and labor have now been eliminated and the placenta is likely to be at the root of many of the dangers to the unborn child that remain. A breakdown of the relationship between the placenta and the maternal tissue may turn out to be the cause of the majority of early lost pregnancies.
Download or read book Stem Cells in Aesthetic Procedures written by Melvin A. Shiffman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the use of stem cells in aesthetic procedures has been increasing rapidly, reflecting the widespread acknowledgment of the tremendous potential of stem cell fat transfer. This is, however, the first book to be devoted entirely to the subject. The book opens by reviewing the history of the development of pluripotent stem cells and the results of research into the biochemistry and physiology of stem cells. Adipose tissue anatomy and survival are discussed and the wide range of aesthetic procedures involving stem cell fat transfer are then described in detail. These procedures relate to the face, breast, buttocks, legs, hands, penis and Poland syndrome. In addition, potential risks and complications are identified. The book has been written by leading experts and will be an invaluable source of information for students, beginners and experienced surgeons in a range of specialties.
