Anaerobiosis and Stemness

An Evolutionary Paradigm for Therapeutic Applications

Beschreibung

Anaerobiosis and Stemness: An evolutionary paradigm provides a context for understanding the many complexities and evolutionary features of stem cells and the clinical implications of anaerobiosis stem cells. Combining theoretical and experimental knowledge, the authors provide a broad understanding of how the absence or low concentration of oxygen can play an influential role in the maintenance and self-renewal of stem cells and stem cell differentiation. This understanding has clinical implications for the fields of regenerative medicine, cancer biology and transplantation, as well as cell engineering and cell therapy. Anaerobiosis and Stemness is an important resource for stem cell and developmental biologists alike, as well as oncologists, cancer biologists, and researchers using stem cells for regeneration.

Rezensionen

"...provides the key for understanding and predicting stem cell behavior in vivo and ex vivo, which is of paramount importance for the cell engineering and anti-cancer strategies." --Serbian Archives of Medicine

"The "evolutionary stem cell paradigm?of Z. Ivanovic and M. Vlaski provides the key for understanding and predicting stem cell behavior in vivo and ex vivo, which is of paramount importance for the cell engineering and anti-cancer strategies. The concept of anaerobiosis and stemness presented in this unique book implies the epigenetic missing link in stem cells behavior. The evolutionary paradigm described, although partly hypothetical, is important for understanding developmental biology." --Professor Pavle Milenkovic, MD, PhD, President of the Academy of Medical Sciences, Serbian Medical Society
