About The Book

"Stem Cells and Revascularization Therapies" by Hyunjoon Kong explores the rapidly advancing field of stem cell biology and its clinical applications in revascularization therapies. This book addresses both the fundamentals of stem cell biology and the applied techniques that have shown promise in clinical therapies. It provides an in-depth examination of various strategies, including the mobilization of endogenous stem cell populations and cell transplantation methods, which are being developed to improve the outcomes of revascularization treatments.

The book is structured into four comprehensive sections that help readers understand the multidisciplinary nature of stem cell therapies for revascularization:

• Section 1: Discusses how to define, isolate, and characterize various stem and progenitor cell populations for neovascularization.

• Section 2: Summarizes model systems and approaches used to regulate angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, and arteriogenesis, as well as their impact on the formation of functional blood vessels in vivo.

• Section 3: Focuses on stem cell homing, the phenomenon where stem cells are directed to sites of injury and inflammation, and strategies to exploit this mobilization for therapeutic purposes.

• Section 4: Covers stem cell transplantation, including methods to maintain multipotency of transplanted cells and the combinatorial delivery of cells and molecular factors to improve therapeutic outcomes.

With 342 pages of expert insights, the book aims to inspire new contributions to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of stem cell-based revascularization therapies. It highlights the emerging findings and challenges in the field and serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in advancing stem cell therapies for vascular repair.
