Cant:
Practical Stem Cell Transplantation
By Andrew Cant, Angela Galloway and Graham Jackson
2007 (1st ed), 400 pages, 42
illus, $125 list
Designed as an essential,
practical manual for all those working in the field of bone marrow and stem cell
transplantation.
Chiu:
Human Embryonic Stem Cells; 2003,
464 pages. Addresses the major
issues in the use of human pluripotent stem cells for
treating degenerative diseases or for replacing tissues lost from trauma.
Hayat: Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells
By M.A. Hayat
2011 (1st ed),
213 pages, 48 illus, $209 list
Difference between tissue specific
stem cells and embryonic stem cells is explained. The advantages of the latter
are included. The application of human pluripotent
stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and hematopoietic
stem cells in cancer therapy and tissue/organ regeneration is detailed. Role of
neural cancer stem cells in brain tumors, including their role in brain tumor
therapy and the role of CD133 stem cell antigen in glioma
patients, is emphasized. Therapeutic role of bone marrow-derived stem cells in
myocardial infarction and the role of mesenchymal
stem cells in orthopedics are explained. Transplantation of umbilical cord
hematopoietic stem cells and allogeneic hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation followed by graft-versus-host disease are presented.
Role of cancer stem cells specifically in glioblastoma
and medulloblastoma is included. It is also
emphasized that CD133 is an appropriate stem cell marker for gliomas. Targeting of cancer cells is also explained.
Humber:
Stem Cell Research; 2003, 183 pages. Examines the principal ethical arguments for and against
stem cell research, considering the rights of human embryos, the regulation of
research practices, and the commodification of human
tissue.
Sell:
Stem Cells Handbook; 2003, 600
pages. Comprehensive
reference discusses the role of stem cells in wound healing, tissue renewal,
and regeneration of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Features
transplantation in various clinical applications.
Soiffer: Stem Cell Transplantation for Hematologic
Malignancies; February 2004, 350
pages. Surveys
the current state of the art in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for
acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia,
lymphoma, multiple myeloma and breast cancer. Special attention is given to transplant-related
complications.
Turksen: Adult Stem Cells; January 2004,
350 pages. Discusses adult and
embryonic stem cells, stem cell biology, specific types of cells, and their
culture. The illustrations include color plates.
Turksen: Epidermal Cells: Methods and Protocols;
January 2005, 480 pages. Describes
methods for analyzing and manipulating epidermal cell precursors and mature
epidermal cells. Also epidermal cell commitment and
differentiation both in vivo and in vitro.
