Frontiers in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research

Introduction

Stem cell and regenerative medicine research is an important area of clinical research which promises to change the face of medicine as it will be practiced in the years to come. Challenges in the 21st century to combat diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and retinal disorders, among others, may well be addressed employing stem cell therapies and tissue regeneration techniques. Frontiers in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research brings updates on multidisciplinary topics relevant to stem cell research and their application in regenerative medicine. The series is essential reading for researchers seeking updates in stem cell therapeutics and regenerative medicine. Volume 10 includes 5 chapters on these topics: -Novel drugs and their stem cell-based targets for osteoporosis: challenges and proceedings -The role of cancer stem cells in disease progression and therapy resistance -Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth in tissue regeneration -The fate of toxicological studies: from animal models to stem cell-based methods -Effect of material properties on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells
