This volume presents the current state of laser-assisted bioprinting, a cutting edge tissue engineering technology. Nineteen chapters discuss the most recent developments in using this technology for
This comprehensive volume explores functions, pathologies, and applications of stem cells in relation to the niches in which they develop. Ten chapters cover the subject in depth, from a historical pe
This book discusses genome engineering using the protein CRISPR-Cas9. The bulk of chapters are devoted to site- or disease-specific genome editing including for immune function, diabetes, cancer stem
Planar cell polarity (PCP), or the alignment of a collection of cells within a cell sheet, has proven, over time, to be vital in not only normal development but also in disease states. In Planar Cell
Since the initial discovery of the claudins, the field of tight junctions and cell polarity has become increasingly energized, mainly due to the fact that the claudins have provided an opportunity to
The significant biological subject, the permeability barrier, is incredibly diverse and vital for a vast assortment of crucial functions in the body.? In Permeability Barrier: Methods and Protocols, a
Considerable advances have taken place since the initial isolation and characterization of human embryonic stem (HES) cells; however, significant challenges remain before their potential for restorati
Reflecting over three decades of advances, Epidermal Cells: Methods and Protocols, Third Edition underscores these advances in our understanding of epidermal biology with updated and entirely new prot
The potential of human embryonic stem cells to advance not only regenerative medicine applications but also our fundamental understanding of stem cell biology continues to drive interest in research w
This volume collects a series of protocols describing the kinds of infrastructures, training, and standard operating procedures currently available to actualize the potential of stem cells for regener
This volume examines cell-cell interactions and stem cell renewal, two topics that are now inexorably linked as science strives to understand the stem cell niche and its function. Gathering a number o
