Stem Cells Biology and Application

Stem Cells Biology and Application

Stem cell science encompassing basic biology to practical application is both vast and diverse. A full appreciation of it requires an understanding of cell and molecular biology tissue structure and physiology the practicalities of tissue engineering and bioprocessing and the pathways to clinical implementation—including the ethical and regulatory imperatives that our society requires us to address. Expectation and debate have been driven by the allure of regenerative medicine using stem cells as a source of replacements for damaged or aged tissues. The potential of stem cell application goes far beyond this. Highly innovative uses of stem cells are emerging as possible therapies for cancers treating acute damage in conditions such as stroke and myocardial infarction and resolving a whole range of diseases. Stem Cells: Biology and Application presents the basic concepts underlying the fast-moving science of stem cell biology. This textbook is written for an advanced stem cell biology course. The target audience includes senior undergraduates first year graduate students and practitioners in molecular biology biology and biomedical engineering.

Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work

Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work

The central themes of Cell Boundaries concern the structural and organizational principles underlying cell membranes and how these principles enable function. By building a biological and biophysical foundation for understanding the organization of lipids in bilayers and the folding assembly stability and function of membrane proteins the book aims to broaden the knowledge of bioscience students to include the basic physics and physical chemistry that inform us about membranes. In doing so it is hoped that physics students will find familiar territory that will lead them to an interest in biology. Our progress toward understanding membranes and membrane proteins depends strongly upon the concerted use of both biology and physics. It is important for students to know not only what we know but how we have come to know it so Cell Boundaries endeavours to bring out the history behind the central discoveries especially in the early chapters where the foundation is laid for later chapters. Science is far more interesting if as students we can appreciate and share in the adventures—and misadventures—of discovering new scientific knowledge. Cell Boundaries was written with advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the biological and physical sciences in mind though this textbook will likely have appeal to researchers and other academics as well. Highlights the history of important central discoveries Early chapters lay the foundation for later chapters to build on so knowledge is amassed High-quality line diagrams illustrate key concepts and illuminate molecular mechanisms Box features and spreads expand on topics in main text including histories of discoveries special techniques and applications | Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work
