Adult Stem Cells, second edition, takes a critical look at issues
concerning the developmental or differentiation potential for a
variety of tissue types and for specific adult stem cell types.
Since the first edition appeared a decade ago, our understanding of
adult stem cells, and more specifically tissue-specific adult stem
cells, has advanced tremendously. And an increased interest in
regenerative medicine and potential stem cell applications has
driven a quest for better understanding of stem cell biology. In
turn, this has spawned much activity on generation and utilization
of more and better reagents to identify and isolate stem cells and
stem cell-like subpopulations, and on assays elucidating their
developmental or differentiation potential and functional
integration with host tissues and organs. In this fully updated new
edition, chapters cover topics ranging from signaling pathways
maintaining stemness in hematopoietic cells to regeneration after
injury and endocrine mechanisms underlying the stem cell theory of
aging. Other chapters cover stem cells by organ or system including
pituitary, cardiac, epithelial, teeth, lung, ovary, prostate,
liver, and many more. Importantly, the authors of the chapters have
not only summarized their successes, but have also summarized some
of the difficulties that each particular field is still facing with
respect to maximizing the utility of stem cells in clinical
settings. Collectively, they impart both the excitement and
challenges facing stem cell utilization for repair and regeneration
making this book essential reading for those involved in stem cell
research as well as those involved in clinical assays.
