Biology and Engineering of Stem Cell Niches By: Ajaykumar Vishwakarma Publisher: Academic Press Print ISBN: 9780128027349, 0128027347 eText ISBN: 9780128027561, 0128027568 Copyright year: 2017 Format: EPUB Available from $ 150.00 USD SKU 9780128027561 Biology and Engineering of Stem Cell Niches covers a wide spectrum of research and current knowledge on embryonic and adult stem cell niches, focusing on the understanding of stem cell niche molecules and signaling mechanisms, including cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions. The book comprehensively reviews factors regulating stem cell behavior and the corresponding approaches for understanding the subsequent effect of providing the proper matrix molecules, mechanical cues, and/or chemical cues. It encompasses a variety of tools and techniques for developing biomaterials-based methods to model synthetic stem cell niches in vivo, or to enhance and direct stem cell fate in vitro. A final section of the book discusses stem cell niche bioengineering strategies and current advances in each tissue type. Includes the importance of Cell-Cell and Cell Matrix Interactions in each specific tissue and system Authored and edited by authorities in this emerging and multidisciplinary field Includes valuable links to 5-10 minute YouTube© author videos that describe main points Download eBook Free: https://ouo.io/Zx7ycCJ
