商品描述

Long regarded as biological waste, the placenta is gaining momentum as a viable product for clinical use. Due to their unique properties, placental cells and derivatives show great promise in curing various diseases. Utilizing contributions from world-renowned experts, Placenta: The Tree of Life considers the therapeutic potential of these cells. It examines new stem cell-based strategies and highlights recent studies that advance the range of treatment for a number of illnesses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emphasizing the potential research and therapeutic use of stem cells, the book discusses the development, structure, and functions of the human placenta. It introduces overall aspects of the immune system, explains some of the immune mechanisms during pregnancy, and shows the role of the placenta in these mechanisms. Current scientific research is presented that focuses on the mechanisms of action underlying the therapeutic benefit of cells isolated from different placental regions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An exhaustive examination, this pivotal work:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Considers how perinatal cells may represent an important source for cell therapy approaches in the near future, in both human and veterinary medicine



    •  
  • Describes the clinical potential of placenta-derived cells in regenerative medicine--specifically in neurological disorders, metabolic liver diseases, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases



    •  
  • Explains how cells isolated from different placental tissues share basic properties

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Placenta: The Tree of Life summarizes the advantages of perinatal tissue as a source of cells with therapeutic potential and is designed for use in the study of genetics, stem cell science, placental function, reproductive biology, regenerative medicine, and related fields.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

長期以來被視為生物廢物的胎盤，正逐漸成為臨床應用的可行產品。由於其獨特的特性，胎盤細胞及其衍生物在治療各種疾病方面顯示出巨大的潛力。利用來自世界知名專家的貢獻，《胎盤：生命之樹》探討了這些細胞的治療潛力。它檢視了基於幹細胞的新策略，並突顯了最近的研究，推進了多種疾病的治療範圍。

本書強調幹細胞的潛在研究和治療用途，討論了人類胎盤的發展、結構和功能。它介紹了免疫系統的整體概念，解釋了懷孕期間的一些免疫機制，並展示了胎盤在這些機制中的角色。當前的科學研究集中於不同胎盤區域分離的細胞所帶來的治療益處的作用機制。

這部重要的著作進行了全面的檢視：

- 考慮到圍產期細胞可能在不久的將來成為人類和獸醫醫學中細胞治療方法的重要來源
- 描述了胎盤衍生細胞在再生醫學中的臨床潛力，特別是在神經系統疾病、代謝性肝病、炎症性疾病和自體免疫疾病方面
- 解釋了從不同胎盤組織分離的細胞如何共享基本特性

《胎盤：生命之樹》總結了圍產期組織作為具有治療潛力的細胞來源的優勢，並設計用於基因學、幹細胞科學、胎盤功能、生殖生物學、再生醫學及相關領域的研究。

作者簡介

Ornella Parolini is founder and Director of Centro di Ricerca E.Menni, Fondazione Poliambulanza, a research center focused on placental stem cells and their potential therapeutic applications. Dr. Parolini and her team have pioneered the concept that the placenta harbors stem cells with unique immunomodulatory properties that are at the basis of the mechanisms promoting tissue regeneration after their transplantation. In 2009, Dr. Parolini was nominated as the first President of the International Placenta Stem Cell Society for her scholarly contributions and networking efforts in this field and was re-elected in 2014. She is author of over 120 publications in peer-reviewed journals and has several patents in the placenta stem cell field.
