Description for Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Brain Diseases
Paperback. This book describes a breakthrough approach in which somatic cells are reprogrammed into induced pluripotent (iPS) cells. Covers reprogramming methods, control and determination of cell identity, new epigenetic models and iPS cell therapy in brain disease. Series: Springerbriefs in Neuroscience. Num Pages: 74 pages, 1 black & white illustrations, 6 colour illustrations. BIC Classification: MFN; MJN; PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 153 x 239 x 6. Weight in Grams: 134.
Brain diseases can have a large impact on patients and society, and treatment is often not available. A new approach in which somatic cells are reprogrammed into induced pluripotent cells (iPS cells) is a significant breakthrough for regenerative medicine. This promises patient-specific tissue for replacement therapies, as well as disease-specific cells for developmental modeling and drug treatment screening. However, this method faces issues of low reprogramming efficiency, and poorly defined criteria for determining the conversion of one cell type to another. Cells contain epigenetic “memories” of what they were that can affect reprogramming. This book discusses the various methods to ... Read more
