Main description:

Phage Therapy - Part A Volume 200 in the Elsevier Book serial of Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science provides the most topical and informative research in the field of stem cells, which will be used in medical treatment. This book provides not only fundamental aspects and culture and production methods of stem cells but also engineering aspects of stem cells such as drug screening using hepatocytes and disease treatment by transplantation of retinal pigment epithelium and cardiomyocytes, which are derived from human pluripotent stem cells. We also discuss stem cell therapy using adult stem cells such as dental pulp stem cells.
