Stem Cells Latest Advances

In this volume, the contributing authors from top labs involved in stem cell theranostics share the latest advances in the field of stem cell research. The book covers many aspects of stem cell-based therapy and the progress made toward stem cell therapy for liver, ocular, and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer. This volume serves as a continuation of Prof. Khawaja Husnain Haider’s previously edited books pertaining to stem cells-based therapnostics.

This is an ideal book for researchers involved in drug development as well as regenerative medicine and stem cell-based therapy. The secondary audience includes graduate and postgraduate medical students, doctors, cellular pharmacology, drug industry, and researchers involved in using stem cells as ex-vivo disease models for drug development.

Dr. Khawaja Husnain Haider is currently a Professor of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology (Stem cells and Gene Therapy) and Chairman of the Basic Sciences Department (Medical Program) at Sulaiman AlRajhi University. He has also served on the editorial boards of various research journals and as an invited reviewer for several respected international journals. His research focuses on the use of DNA, miRNAs, and stem cells as “drugs,” a topic that has gained popularity in regenerative medicine. He has published over 280 book chapters, abstracts, and papers published in various books and leading research journals including, Circulation, Circulation Research, Cardiovascular Research, JCMM, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Cell Cycle, Basic Research in Cardiology, and Antioxidant Redox Signaling. He has also given numerous presentations and edited 5 books covering various facets of stem cell and their applications from drug to drug development.
