Vast therapeutic applications of the following specific stem cells
in disease and tissue injury are discussed: embryonic stem cells,
induced pluripotent stem cells, human hair follicle stem cells,
bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells, adipose-derived
stem cells, periodontal/progenitor cells, cancer stem cells, and
breast cancer stem cells. Because human embryonic stem cells
possess the potential to produce unlimited quantities of any human
cell type, considerable focus is placed on this type of stem cells
in this volume. The role of cancer stem cells, specifically in
breast cancer is explained. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem
cells to aid the injured brain is included. Immune recovery after
stem cells transplantation in severe combined immunodeficiency
patients is described. The role of mesenchymal stem cells in
enhancing the growth and metastasis of colon cancer is discussed.
Clinical application of human follicle stem cells is presented.
Treatment of malignant gliomas using genetically-modified neural
stem cells as a marker is discussed. The impact of cancer stem cell
hypothesis on designing new cancer therapies is explained. In the
field of regenerative medicine, the use of stem cells in the repair
of the central nervous system, tendon injury, and as a cardiac
regenerative medicine is described. The role of DNA methylation in
maintaining stemness induced pluripotent stem cells from human
extraembryonic amnion cells is discussed. Insights on the
understanding of molecular pathways involved in tumor biology are
explained, which lead to the development of effective drugs.
Information on pathways, such as hedgehog, facilitates targeted
therapies in cancer.
