Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Stem Cells and their Potential for Clinical Application, Kiev and Simeiz, Ukraine, August 23–31, 2006|
State-of-the-art articles from leading scientists in stem cell and leukaemia research
Contains the East European view on stem cell research
Covers stem cell research - from bench to bedside
Provides novel data in hot areas of science such as stem cell & gene therapy research
The NATO-ASI conference Stem Cells and Their Potential for Clinical Application featured cutting-edge presentations ranging from laboratory research findings to the latest therapeutic applications. This book features contributions from many of the leading international scientists from North America and Western and Eastern Europe who participated in this conference. Articles cover a broad range of hot topics in stem cell and leukemia research.
|This publication was initiated on the occasion of the NATO-Advanced Study Institute (ASI) meeting "Stem Cells and their potential for clinical application” which took place from August 23 – 25, 2006 in Kyiv and from August 26 – 31, 2006 in Simeiz, Ukraine. The meeting was devoted to "hot topics” in Stem cell research such as Regulation of Haematopoietic and Non-haematopoietic Stem Cells, Clinical Application of Stem Cells, Preclinical Models and Gene Therapy. The editors are pleased that the original idea of a book could eventually be realised. This was made possible because of the willingness of many meeting participants to saddle themselves with the additional work of compiling their data and thoughts in form of an article for this edition. We are thus foremost grateful to all contributors for their valuable input. In accordance with the conference´s main topics, the book is divided into five chapters - "Haematopoietic stem cells and haematopoiesis”, "Biology of n- haematopoietic stem cells”, "Stem cells and malignancy”, "Cell processing; expansion and genetic modification” and "Clinical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation”.
