Synopsis

The series Advances in Stem Cell Biology is a timely and expansive collection of comprehensive information and new discoveries in the field of stem cell biology. Cell Sources for IPSCs, Volume 7 address how important are cancer stem cells within the cancer development, and how can we target those cells to try to stop this disease.

Cancer cells depend on cancer stem cells to appear, reactivate and grow. As each cancer is a different disease, this book will discuss the role of cancer stem cells in many different cancers. This book will provide an overview of various cancer such as: melanoma, glioblastoma, thyroid carcinoma, colon cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, osteosarcoma and more.

The volume is written for researchers and scientists in stem cell therapy, cell biology, regenerative medicine and organ transplantation; and is contributed by world-renowned authors in the field.

• Provides an overview of the fast-moving field of stem cell biology and function, regenerative medicine and therapeutics
• Covers the following cancers: melanoma, glioblastoma, thyroid carcinoma, colon cancer, and much more
• Contributed by world-renowned experts in the field

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Alexander Birbrair received his bachelor’s biomedical degree from Santa Cruz State University in Brazil. He completed his PhD in Neuroscience, in the field of stem cell biology, at the Wake Forest School of Medicine under the mentorship of Osvaldo Delbono. Then, he joined as a postdoc in stem cell biology at Paul Frenette’s laboratory at Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York. In 2016, he was appointed faculty at Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, where he started his own lab. His laboratory is interested in understanding how the cellular components of different tissues function and control disease progression. His group explores the roles of specific cell populations in the tissue microenvironment by using state-of-the-art techniques. His research is funded by the Serrapilheira Institute, CNPq, CAPES, and FAPEMIG. In 2018, Alexander was elected affiliate member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC), and, in 2019, he was elected member of the Global Young Academy (GYA), and in 2021, he was elected affiliate member of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS). He is the Founding Editor and Editor-in-Chief of Current Tissue Microenvironment Reports, and Associate Editor of Molecular Biotechnology. Alexander also serves in the editorial board of several other international journals: Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, Stem Cell Research, Stem Cells and Development, and Histology and Histopathology.
