Introduction

Stem cell and regenerative medicine research is an important area of clinical research which promises to change the face of medicine as it will be practiced in the years to come. Challenges in the 21st century to combat diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and retinal disorders, among others, may well be addressed employing stem cell therapies and tissue regeneration techniques. Frontiers in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research brings updates on multidisciplinary topics relevant to stem cell research and their application in regenerative medicine. The series is essential reading for researchers seeking updates in stem cell therapeutics and regenerative medicine.

Volume 10 includes 5 chapters on these topics:

-Novel drugs and their stem cell-based targets for osteoporosis: challenges and proceedings

-The role of cancer stem cells in disease progression and therapy resistance

-Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth in tissue regeneration

-The fate of toxicological studies: from animal models to stem cell-based methods

-Effect of material properties on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells

Audience: Pharmaceutical scientists, biomedical researchers, stem cell biologists, pre-clinical and clinical researchers, life science, researchers, healthcare professionals in regenerative medicine

Preface

The tenth volume of ‘Frontiers in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research’ presents important recent developments in this fast-growing field.

Edda et al. in their chapter focus on the differentiation and signaling pathways of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Pillai et al. discuss the role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in therapy resistance with detailed molecular mechanisms. Ponnuraj et al. in the third chapter of the book present the potential use of dental stem cells, particularly stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) for tissue regeneration. Masoud et al. give an overview of toxicological studies from animal models to stem cell-based methods. In the last chapter of the book, Feng et al. discuss the possible mechanisms proposed to explain how certain factors affect the differentiation of MSCs.

We owe our special thanks to all the contributors for their valuable contribution in bringing together the tenth volume of this book series. We are thankful to the efficient team of Bentham Science Publishers for the timely efforts made by the editorial personnel, especially Mr. Mahmood Alam (Editorial Director), Mr. Obaid Sadiq (in-charge Books Department) and Ms. Asma Ahmed (Manager Publications).
