"Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Isolation, Characterization and Applications" ed. by Phuc Van Pham

This volume is dedicated to Mesenchymal Stem Cells. The book presents the isolation, characterization, and some applications of mesenchymal stem cells in the clinic. This book provides a succinct yet comprehensive overview of mesenchymal stem cells for advanced students, graduate students, and researchers.

The book has two parts.
In Part I "Isolation and Characterization", the subsequent chapters introduce some techniques in isolation, characterization, and purification of mesenchymal stem cells in different tissues.
In Part II "Clinical Perspectives and Applications", some applications of mesenchymal stem cells in the popular diseases, which include cartilage regeneration, spinal cord injury, and osteoarthritis, are discussed.
