Stem cell research, which has been at the forefront of many fundamental developments in the life sciences and which is looked to for its seemingly boundless clinical promise, is no exception. On the global level, a number of organizations, led by the International Society for Stem Cell Research...
Induced pluripotent stem cells hold great promise, but care is needed to ensure their safety in translational clinical trials, despite the temptation to move quickly from bench to bedside. A variety of highly multipotent stem cells - such as mesenchymal stem/stromal cells and stem cells derived ...
As every reader of this journal knows, ‘stem cell research’ is a category of enormous breadth and complexity. Current and potential therapeutic applications for stem cells are numerous. Stem cell researchers may be engaged in many different endeavors, including but not limited to seeking new sour...
The derivation of pluripotent stem cell lines from oocytes and embryos is fraught with disputes about the onset of human personhood. The reprogramming of somatic cells to produce induced pluripotent stem cells avoids the ethical problems specific to embryonic stem cell research. In any hSC research,...

Moreover, in order to mimic the architectural features of the in vivo environment, most recent reports use thee-dimensional (3-D) culture systems to address some of the limitations of the 2-D monolayer culture. This chapter discusses the current methodologies used for cancer stem cells (CSCs)...
cells have been ongoing for many years, but a special section in the latest issue of Perspectives in Biology and Medicine takes a deep look at some of the newest and most complex issues—including the direct global sales of services and untested and unproven products marketed as stem cells.Gue...
Stem cell research and its clinical application raise hopes for the treatment of a variety of serious human diseases.Stem cells and regenerative medicine have become the most popular topic in present life science research.However , the flourishing development of stem cell technology also brings ethical...
The results showed that in CHPCCF treatment group, DNA content of the cancer cells was decreased, and the proliferation index was reduced (control: 83.4 ± 2.6, CHPCCF group: 78.8 ± 1.5; or control: 67.2 ± 1.3, CHPCCF group: 64.2 ± 1.6, P<0.02), the number of the cancer cells ...
