Embryonic Stem Cells Handbook - by Peter Bay (Hardcover)

About the Book

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells obtained from early-stage embryos. They possess the remarkable ability to differentiate into any specialised cell type in the human body. This versatility makes ESCs invaluable for potential applications in regenerative medicine and therapeutic treatments. ESCs can be cultivated indefinitely in laboratory conditions, making certain a stable supply for medical use. Their capacity to generate healthy tissues and organs holds promise for treating a wide range of diseases and injuries, such as spinal cord damage and cardiovascular disorders. By providing insights into developmental processes and disease mechanisms, ESCs contribute significantly to advancing medical knowledge, offering potential cures for previously untreatable conditions and improving the lives of patients through innovative treatments. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of embryonic stem cells and the recent research in this field. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
