Download Stem Cells: A Very Short Introduction AudioBook Free
This issue of stem skin cells has been very high profile in the media in recent years. There is much public desire for stem skin cells but also much misunderstanding and misinformation, with some companies already offering "stem cell products" and bogus "stem cell therapies". In such a Very Short Introduction, Jonathan Slack introduces stem skin cells; what they are, what scientists do with them, what stem cell solutions can be found today, and exactly how they could be found in future. Despite important developments, professional medical applications of stem skin cells remain in their infancy. Most real stem cell remedy today is some form of bone marrow transplantation. Slack introduces stem skin cells by explaining the difference between embryonic stem skin cells, which exist only in laboratory ethnicities, and tissue-specific stem skin cells, which exist inside our body. Embryonic stem skin cells may become any cell type in the body, so diseases which could in future be cared for by functional skin cells derived from these kinds of stem cell include diabetes, Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular disease, and spinal trauma. He then goes on to go over the properties of tissue-specific stem skin cells and the important approach of bone marrow transplantation. Slack concludes by inspecting how medical advancement has happened in this area before, and draws out a few of the lessons for the introduction of new therapies in the future.
