Stem cells : a very short introduction / by Slack, J. M. W.(Jonathan Michael Wyndham),1949-author.(CARDINAL)727270;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 131-133) and index.What are stem cells? -- Embryonic stem cells -- Personalized pluripotent stem cells -- Therapy using pluripotent stem cells -- Tissue-specific stem cells -- Therapy using tissue-specific stem cells -- Expectations: realistic and unrealistic."The topic of stem cells has a high profile in the media. We've made important advances in our scientific understanding, but despite this the clinical applications of stem cells are still in their infancy and most real stem cell therapy carried out today is some form of bone marrow transplantation. At the same time, a scandalous spread of unproven stem cell treatments by private clinics represents a serious problem, with treatments being offered which are backed by limited scientific rationale, and which are at best ineffective, and at worse harmful. This Very Short Introduction introduces stem cells, exploring what they are, and what scientists do with them. Introducing the different types of stem cells, Jonathan Slack explains how they can be used to treat diseases such as retinal degeneration, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, and spinal trauma. He also discusses the important technique of bone marrow transplantation and some other types of current stem cell therapy, used for the treatment of blindness and of severe burns. Slack warns against fake stem cell treatments and discusses how to distinguish real from fake treatments. He also describes the latest scientific progress in the field, and looks forward to what we can expect to happen in the next few years."--

Stem cells : a very short introduction / by Slack, J. M. W.(Jonathan Michael Wyndham),1949-(CARDINAL)727270;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 122-124) and index.What are stem cells? -- Embryonic stem cells -- Personalized pluripotent stem cells -- Potential therapies using pluripotent stem cells -- Tissue-specific stem cells -- Current therapy with tissue specific stem cells -- Realistic and unrealistic expectations.There is much public interest in stem cells, but also much confusion and misunderstanding. Despite important advances, clinical applications of embryonic stem cells are still in the early stages. In this book the author introduces us to stem cells, explaining what they are, what scientists do with them, why they are important, what stem therapies are available and how they might be used in the future.
