Stromal cells are connective tissue cells
of any organ. This book will prove highly useful for students, researchers, and
clinicians in stem cell biology, developmental biology, cancer biology,
pathology and oncology. Goal of this book is to consolidate the recent advances
in the area of stromal stem cell biology covering a broad range of interrelated
topics in a timely fashion and to disseminate that knowledge in a lucid way to a
greater scientific audience.

Cell biology is a
multidisciplinary scientific field that its modern expansion in new knowledge.
This book is a compilation of inspiring reviews/original studies, which are
divided into sections: New Methods in Cell Biology, Molecular and Cellular
Regulatory Mechanisms, and Cellular Basis of Disease and Therapy.
One of the most unique physical features of cell
adhesion to external surfaces is the active generation of mechanical force at
the cell-material interface. This includes pulling forces generated by contractile polymer bundles and networks, and pushing forces
generated by the polymerization of polymer networks. Topics covered includes: Physics of cell-matrix adhesions, Cell shape and
forces, Active response of cells, Cell assemblies
This note explains the following topics related to Cellular and nuclear
reprogramming: Inducing pluripotency, Stem cells in animal models of
regeneration, Small RNAs – their biogenesis, regulation and function in
embryonic stem cells.
