Stem Cell Therapeutics for Cancer covers theapplication of stem cells in various cancers, with an emphasis onthe aspects of these strategies that are critical to the success offuture stem cell-based therapies for cancer. Topics covered in thebook include stem cell sources, tumor specificity, targetedtherapeutics, visualizing the stem cell, and therapeutic agentpharmacokinetics. Each chapter contains a brief introduction to thecancer, followed by an exploration of how engineered stem cellshave been utilized to cure the disease in mouse models and in earlyphase clinical trials.
