Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Extracellular Vesicles as Next-Generation Therapeutics is a comprehensive exploration of the groundbreaking roles stem cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs) play in regenerative medicine. The book examines the fundamental biology of stem cells and EVs, their therapeutic applications across tissues - including skin, neural, cardiac, ocular, and more and the innovative interdisciplinary approaches shaping the future of healthcare. The book is divided into three distinct sections. Section 1 covers Basic and Emerging Concepts, while Section 2 examines Therapeutic Applications and Disease Focus, and Section 3 explores Cross-disciplinary Innovations and Future Directions this field will encounter in this rapidly growing branch of medicine. Written by experts in the field for researchers and academics engaged in regenerative medicine, stem cell biology, and biomedical engineering. It will also be of interest to healthcare professionals such as physicians, surgeons, and specialists interested in tissue repair and regeneration.
