商品簡介
For scientists working in stem cell research, aging, regeneration, and cancer, and physicians and scientists in geriatric medicine, internal medicine, and surgery, Rudolph (molecular medicine and stem cell aging, U. of Ulm, Germany) compiles nine papers summarizing the proceedings of the Third Else Kroner-Fresnius Symposium held in May 2011 and focusing on current advances in stem cell aging at the cellular and molecular level and new perspectives in research. Researchers from Germany and China discuss alterations of stem cell-niche interactions, age-associated leukemia, and systemic influences on stem cell aging in Drosophila and mice; hematopoietic stem cell aging and leukemia, as well as fate decision; DNA damage, checkpoint responses, and cell cycle control in aging stem cells; stem cell therapy and stress response in the pancreas and intestine, including approaches to diabetes; niche-stem cell interactions and environmental influences; stem cells and metabolism; molecular mechanisms of muscle stem cell aging; and neural stem cells in development and aging.
