The book highlights the therapeutic applications of various stem
cells, and introduces readers to thymus stem cells and their
applications in the reconstitution of thymic structure and
function. It also discusses the significant role of mesenchymal
stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and the
use of MSC-derived exosomes in cell-free therapy. Moreover, it
explores the application of hematopoietic stem cells in the
vasculoprotection of the ischemially injured heart. Further topics
include the regenerative potential of ovarian germline stem cells
and the significance of endometrial stem cells in the pathogenesis
of female reproductive tract diseases. Lastly, the book addresses
stem cells from perinatal tissues and their immunoregulatory and
differentiation potentials, and summarizes new strategies for
targeting cancer stem cells to treat tumors.
Stem cell based therapy is a 21st century approach of therapeutic
intervention which epitomizes a shift from conventional symptomatic
treatment strategy to addressing the root cause of the disease
process. This is especially a hope for the patients suffering from
diseases such as Alzheimer, diabetes, myocardial infarction and
other diseases which have always been considered as incurable.
Moreover, stem cells provide excellent in vitro disease models for
drug development. This book is a compilation of the bench
experience of experts from various research labs involved in the
cutting edge area of research, describing the use of stem cells
both as part of the combinatorial therapeutic intervention approach
and as tools (disease model) during drug development.

This book is a compilation of the bench experience of leading
experts from various research labs involved in the cutting edge
area of research. The authors describe the use of stem cells both
as part of the combinatorial therapeutic intervention approach and
as tools (disease model) during drug development, highlighting the
shift from a conventional symptomatic treatment strategy to
addressing the root cause of the disease process. The book is a
continuum of the previously published book entitled "Stem Cells:
from Drug to Drug Discovery" which was published in 2017.
During the last two decades, stem cells have progressed from merely
a concept to a vibrant field of regenerative medicine which is
aimed at addressing the root cause of the problem rather than
conventional methods of intervention that mostly provide
symptomatic relief.Stem cell therapy either alone or in combination
with the other established treatment strategies is a hope for
patients who suffer from the 'incurable' diseases such as
Alzheimer, diabetes, myocardial infarction etc. Besides aspirations
in the clinical perspective, stem cells provide excellent in vitro
disease models for drug development.Given the significance of the
field, the proposed book will be a compilation of the bench
experience of experts from various research labs involved in the
cutting edge area of stem cell research.
