Full Description
In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the biology, characterisation and potential clinical application of progenitor cells. Topics discussed include endothelial progenitor cells and cardiovascular disease; isolation, expansion and clinical therapy of human corneal epithelial stem/progenitor cells; genetically engineered blood pharming; regulation of neural progenitor cells by Wnt5a-signaling in the developmental central nervous system; endothelial progenitor cells in a clinical setting; role of microRNAs in endothelial progenitor cells and their implication for cardiac repair; and cellular origins in amphibian regeneration.
