This book explores the regenerative properties of fetal stem cells from feto-maternal cell
traffic through perinatal stem cells with a discussion of key topics including stem cell
banking drug screening in utero stem cell transplantation and ethical considerations. The
expertly authored chapters also delve into embryonic amniotic membrane and umbilical cord
blood stem cells fetal development models fetal cell reprogramming culture methods disease
models perinatal gene therapy and more. These chapters are grouped into four sections each
discussing a separate prenatal stem cell population and providing fascinating historical
contexts for our knowledge of these systems.Featuring a foreword written by the renowned Dr.
Joseph Vacanti of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute Fetal Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine:
Principles and Translational Strategies is a welcome and timely contribution to the Stem Cell
Biology and Regenerative Medicine series. It is essential reading for scientists and
researchers clinicians and residents and advanced students involved in stem cells
regenerative medicine tissue engineering and related disciplines such as embryology.
