Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes are at the forefront of research in two of the most high profile and funded scientific areas – cardiovascular research and stem cells. Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived Exosomes provides insight into the biofunction and molecular mechanisms, practical tools for research, and a look toward the clinical applications of this exciting phenomenon which is emerging as an effective diagnostic. Primarily focused on the cardiovascular applications where there have been the greatest advancements toward the clinic, this is the first compendium for clinical and biomedical researchers who are interested in integrating MSC-derived exosomes as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool.
- Introduces the MSC-exosome mediated cell-cell communication
- Covers the major functional benefits in current MSC-derived exosome studies
- Discusses strategies for the use of MSC-derived exosomes in cardiovascular therapies
Biomedical and nano researchers and graduate students; stem cell biologists; cardiologists; chemist and pharmaceutical scientists using stem cells in drug development
