REGENERATIVE MEDICINE AND STEM CELL THERAPY FOR...

This book provides an overview of the types  sources  and applications of stem cells in
regenerating various ocular tissues  with a perspective on both potential applications of stem
cells and possible challenges. The scope of the chapters include both preclinical and clinical
applications  including stem cell-derived therapies based on endogenous tissue repair  stem
cell transplantation and cell replacement therapy  gene therapy  and in vitro disease
modelling. Additionally  the volume presents applications in both anterior and posterior ocular
disease  with a particular focus on diseases of the ocular surface  cornea  limbus  and retina
including inherited retinal dystrophies as well as acquired diseases  such as age-related
macular degeneration. Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Therapy for the Eye is an ideal book
for advanced researchers in stem cell and ocular biology as well as clinical ophthalmologists 
and will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in developmental biology and
bioengineering. This book also Skillfully reviews cutting-edge advances in stem cell biology as
applied to regenerative medicine and ocular disease Provides expert viewpoints on key hurdles
and challenges to successful implementation of stem cell-derived therapies in the clinical
domain Offers a multi-disciplinary  broad understanding of cell-based therapies for ocular
diseases by incorporating perspectives from biomedical scientists  physicians  and engineers
Examines the connection between cell therapy and gene editing  in particular relation to ocular
disease
