This book provides an update of recent advances in the basic and
clinical applications of cell-based therapies for myocardial
repair and regeneration in ischemic heart disease (IHD) and heart
failure (HF). The first sections of the book illuminate basic
aspects of stem cells such as definitions, isolation criteria and
characterization of embryonic and adult stem cells, as well as
pluripotent stem cells and tissue specific progenitor and stem
cells. In the following section, the text examines the role of
critical regulators of stem cell differentiation in myocardial
regeneration, that include circadian rhythyms, microRNAs,
epigenetics, microvescicles, and exosomes. The text concludes
with a review of the use of stem/progenitor cells in cardiac
regeneration and discuss current controversies, unresolved
issues, challenges, and future directions.
