This book covers several aspects of perinatal tissue-derived stem cells,
from theoretical concepts to clinical applications. Topics include
functions and different sources, immunomodulatory properties,
translational point of view, GMP facility design and manufacturing for
clinical translation, therapeutic potentials, and finally ethical
considerations. The text provides a brief review of each type of
perinatal stem cells and then focuses on their multi- or pluripotent
properties, regenerative capacity, and future therapeutic potential in
regenerative medicine. Additionally, the book discusses GMP compliance
in stem cell facilities and the manufacture of stem cells for clinical
translation. The chapters are authored by world-renowned experts in the
perinatal stem cell field. Perinatal Tissue-Derived Stem Cells:
Alternative Sources of Fetal Stem Cells, part of Springer's Stem Cell
Biology and Regenerative Medicine series, is essential reading for basic
and clinical scientists, clinicians, and pharmaceutical experts working
or conducting research in the fields of stem cell biology, molecular
aspects of stem cell research, tissue engineering, regenerative
medicine, and cellular therapy.
