Comprehensive Hematology and Stem Cell Research

Blood-related disorders affect millions of people annually. These range from chronic, genetic conditions to acute disorders like cancer and can impact one’s quality of life or even be life-threatening. Fortunately, the advent of stem cell therapy has shown great promise over the last decade in treating these disorders and improving patient outcomes. Comprehensive Hematology and Stem Cell Research, Four Volume Set is the first major reference to cover both stem cell research and therapy as well as the range of hematological disorders they are currently used to treat and may potentially be able to treat in the future. The book will include fundamentals, such as the underlying mechanisms of the blood and immune system, highlighting blood disorders and cancers of the blood including lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma. It will go on to cover stem cell research and therapy, from harvesting stem cells to their utilization in cancer treatments. Finally, the work will look to the future and explore newer stem cell research that may lead to future treatments. Comprehensive Hematology and Stem Cell Research is an excellent resource for students at the graduate and post-graduate levels, academics, and researchers in the fields hematology, immunology and oncology. Complies foundational knowledge and breakthrough research into one concise, comprehensive referenceTakes a translational, bench-to-bedside approach to hematological disorders and stem cell therapiesCovers clinical applications of stem cells as well as advances in the field and promising new research
