This book offers a comprehensive overview of fundamental principles and the latest applications in cell biology and regenerative medicine, beginning with the foundational concepts of cell theory. It discusses the various types of cells and their defining characteristics, and dynamic processes of cell division, differentiation, dedifferentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. The text also introduces the basics of embryo development and delve into the applications of induced pluripotent stem cells, cancer stem cells, tissue-specific niches, and the innovative techniques for editing stem cells. Additionally, the book explores the stem cell niche and its surrounding microenvironment, along with the complex interactions between stem cells and the immune system. It underscores the therapeutic potential of stem cells in treating neurodegenerative diseases, facilitating cardiovascular regeneration, enhancing skin regeneration and wound healing, and improving orthopedic applications. Furthermore, the book examines the use of stem cells in ocular therapies, dental, and craniofacial regeneration. It provides an overview of the regulatory frameworks governing stem cell research, outlines the principles of tissue engineering, and discusses the development of organ-on-a-chip models. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in cell biology and regenerative medicine.
