Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells
Book Review
by Joanne Quinn
Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells will be published in October 2011
Dr. Christopher Centeno has contributed content to our autologous stem cell information site. Recently, he was asked to write a book chapter on the use of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in orthopedic injuries which is Chapter 21 in the new medical text, Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells, Volume 1 (Hayat, Springer 2011). This medical text is being published October 28, 2011.
Abstract of Chapter 21
"The Use of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Orthopedics"
The use of mesenchymal stem cells in orthopedics has been postulated for many years, with robust animal data showing efficacy in cartilage healing, tendon repair, and intervertebral disc treatment. Early clinical data is also just starting to be published in primarily cartilage repair and these results are encouraging. The field of tissue engineering with stem cells in orthopedics has the potential to reduce morbidity and improve clinical outcomes.
