The book's audience, researchers, academic professionals and synthetic chemists both in industry and academia will find detailed information about the synthesis of five-membered heterocyclic compounds using dimethylformamide. Over the years, heterocyclic compounds, especially five-membered, have drawn more attention of pharmaceutical community because of their therapeutic value. The formation of heterocyclic compounds has turned out to be the keystone of synthetic organic chemistry. Dimethylformamide has played an important role in organic synthesis for a long time, and it is frequently utilized as a common solvent for chemical reactions and broadly used in industry as a reagent. It is a unique chemical and can play three other roles in organic chemistry, i.e., as stabilizer, reagent and catalyst. Due to its structure, DMF can participate in several reactions as a versatile building block for several units.

      Resident Stem Cells and Regenerative Therapy: Sources and Clinical Applications, Second Edition presents the main findings to date and the important factors to be considered when contemplating resident stem cells in regenerative therapies. Chapters on cardiac, brain, neural, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, bone, pancreatic, skin and lung resident stem cells will assist in defining the level of success that has been achieved and the direction for the road ahead. With contributions from leading laboratories, open questions related to resident stem cells and regenerative therapies will also be presented for debate. In the last several decades, stem cells have greatly impacted the scientific and lay communities, providing huge advances in the treatment of devastating human diseases, including myocardial infarction, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and osteoporosis. Alongside debates of induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells has been the discovery of adult stem cells in many different tissues. While these organ resident or progenitor stem cells offer prospects to contribute to tissue regeneration, they also present challenges because of the complexity of organ structures.
