Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways brings together chapters exploring the mechanism of stem cells and the signaling pathways. This book is a very concise and easy-to-use book. It serves as an ideal reference to guide investigators towards further valuable answers on the role of stem cells and will aid basic researchers and scientists in biomedical sciences and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine with a wide variety of interests in stem cell biology linking basic signal transduction for possible future therapies directed to treatments and different diseases.
Significant information on signaling has been presented here. Sufficient knowledge has been provided on therapeutic approaches for the treatment of different degenerative disorders.
- Provides a compilation of chapters dedicated to the study of the field with respect to properties of stem cells and their signaling pathways. It also provides detailed information on signaling pathways associated with stem cells
- Provides a detailed and updated view of stem cell biology
- Covers a wide range of areas within basic and translational research appropriate for scientists and clinicians engaged in studying the treatments for diseases from interdisciplinary perspectives
- Highlights the use of different models for stem cell research, significance of stem cell signaling in drug discovery
Prof. Surajit Pathak, PhD, is currently working as a professor at Chettinad Academy of Research and Education (CARE), Chennai, India (from 2015 to date). He is currently serving as a principal research scientist (2022 June–Dec 2022) at Linkoping University, Linkoping, Sweden. He received his PhD degree from India in 2007 and completed his postdoctoral training (2007–15) from the University of Alabama, United States, the University of Padova, Italy, and the University of Linkoping, Sweden. His current research focuses on “Biomarker discoveries for early detection of colorectal cancer.” He has published more than 100 research articles in peer-reviewed international journals of repute with 2233 citations and 27 H-index. Dr. Pathak has edited Elsevier book “Stem Cells and Aging” in 2021. He is the member of various professional research bodies of India, including the Indian Association of Cancer Research and the Indian Science Congress.
Dr. Antara Banerjee, PhD, is presently working as an associate professor at CARE, Chennai from 2016 to date. After completing her PhD in 2008 from India, Dr. Banerjee pursued her postdoctoral work at the University of Padova, Italy and Linkoping University, Sweden (2009–15). She has published over 95 peer-reviewed research articles in international and national journals with citation index-1408 and H-index 19. The Banerjee’s lab at Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute is now focused on understanding the role of mesenchymal stem cells niche in tissue regeneration and exploring signaling pathways in governing stem cell fate. She is the editor of Elsevier book “Stem Cells and Aging” in 2021. She is the member of various professional research bodies, including the Indian Association of Cancer Research and the Indian Science Congress.
