Stem cells in craniofacial development and regeneration
1 online resource (xvi, 561 pages : : illustrations (chiefly color.)
With their unique ability to repair and replenish adult tissues, stem cells are increasingly used in cutting-edge medical therapies. This timely work focuses on the role of stem cells in craniofacial development, exploring the rapidly evolving area of dental and craniofacial tissue regeneration. With expert contributions form the forefront of craniofacial research and dentistry, Stem Cells in Craniofacial Development and Regeneration first introduces the development and regeneration of craniofacial tissues and organs, from neural crest cells to early tooth development. It then goes on to examine the different types of stem cells and their niches in craniofacial tissues, including what we can learn from rodent models. Concluding chapters survey the latest trends in stem cell-mediated craniofacial tissue bioengineering and stem cell therapies for treating damaged or lost tissue. Stem Cells in Craniofacial Development and Regeneration: Explains the mechanisms and biology of craniofacial morphogenesis and development, Describes bone, tooth, muscle, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) development and regeneration, Covers dental, muscle, salivary gland, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and stem cells from bone marrow and adipose tissue, Highlights advances in bioengineering for the repair of bone, muscle tissue, teeth, roots, and periodontal tissue, Offers information on biological data integration and searching Stem Cells in Craniofacial Development and Regeneration is a must have reference for craniofacial researchers, development biologists, tissue engineers, and dentists. It is also an important guide for students in dentistry and oral maxillofacial surgery and related fields.
