Book synopsis

This book focuses on practical applications for using adult and embryonic stem cells in the pharmaceutical development process. It emphasizes new technologies to help overcome the bottlenecks in developing stem cells as therapeutic agents. A key reference for professionals working in stem cell science, it presents the general principles and methodologies in stem cell research and covers topics such as derivitization and characterization of stem cells, stem cell culture and maintenance, stem cell engineering, applications of high-throughput screening, and stem cell genetic modification with their use for drug delivery.Emerging Technology Platforms for Stem Cells§The latest in applied stem cell research§Adult and embryonic stem cells are set to play an integral part in the new paradigm of personal medicine and genetic therapies. However, researchers still seek to better understand these cells, their potential uses, and the attendant enabling technologies. Emerging Technology Platforms for Stem Cells gives researchers and drug developers a key resource on the latest in stem cell science and applications.§This comprehensive book touches on all major aspects of this rapidly growing field. The greatest emphasis, however, remains on technologies that may help overcome the bottlenecks in developing stem cells as therapeutic agents.§Derivation and characterization of stem cells§Stem cell culture and maintenance§Stem cell engineering§Applications of high-throughput screening§Stem cell genetic modification with their use for drug delivery§Many luminaries in the field have contributed to this volume, and the various chapters have been closely edited for a consistent, clear style. All the latest scientific results and references have been included throughout. Emerging Technology Platforms for Stem Cells offers a unique and vital reference to researchers and professionals in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries, as well as both students and researchers working in academia.
