Part I: Stem cell therapy for autoimmune diseases -- Current status of stem cell therapy for autoimmune diseaseas -- The mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells for autoimmune disease treatment -- Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in multiple sclerosis -- Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in rheumatoid arthritis -- Part II: Stem cell therapy for inflammation -- Mesenchymal stem cells for graft versus host disease -- Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles as Mediators of Anti‐Inflammatory Effects -- Use of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Inflammatory Bowel Disease -- Secretome of mesenchymal stem cells and its impact on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease -- Index.

This book introduces many new technologies and clinical applications of hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases. Presented in two parts, Part 1 focuses on stem cell therapies for autoimmune disease treatment; Part 2 focuses on stem cell therapies and their application in the treatment of common inflammatory diseases, including chronic knee osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, liver cirrhosis, Crohn's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and more. This book is an essential source for all advanced students and researchers involved with these diseases, stem cells, or both. Stem Cell Transplantation for Autoimmune Diseases and Inflammation and the other books in the Stem Cells in Clinical Applications series are invaluable to scientists, researchers, advanced students and clinicians working in stem cells, regenerative medicine, or tissue engineering as well as cancer or genetics research.
