The series Advances in Stem Cell Biology is a timely and comprehensive collection of cutting-edge information and groundbreaking discoveries in the field of stem cell biology.

Recent Advances in iPSC Technology, Volume 5 delves into the advancements in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) technologies, which have revolutionized biomedical research in the past 15 years.

Somatic cells, such as skin or blood cells, can be reprogrammed into iPSCs by expressing specific transcription factors. These iPSCs hold immense potential for therapeutic applications and offer a valuable tool for studying human diseases.

This volume serves as a comprehensive guide for researchers and scientists interested in stem cell therapy, cell biology, regenerative medicine, and organ transplantation. It features contributions from world-renowned experts in the field, covering a wide range of topics such as:

iPSCs for Modeling Cardiovascular Toxicities of Anticancer Therapies: iPSCs can be used to model the cardiovascular toxicities of anticancer therapies, allowing researchers to identify potential risks and develop safer treatments.

iPSC Differentiation through the Lens of the Noncoding Genome: Understanding the role of noncoding RNAs in iPSC differentiation can help researchers develop more effective differentiation strategies and identify new therapeutic targets.

Modeling of Blood–Brain Barrier with iPSCs: iPSCs can be used to model the blood–brain barrier, which is crucial for drug development and understanding neurological disorders.

Mathematical Modeling of iPSCs: Mathematical modeling techniques can help researchers better understand the complex dynamics of iPSC differentiation and development.

iPSCs to Study Human Brain Evolution: iPSCs can be used to study human brain evolution and identify genetic factors that contribute to brain development and disease.

Self-Renewal in iPSCs: Understanding the mechanisms of self-renewal in iPSCs can help researchers develop strategies to enhance stem cell proliferation and differentiation.

Differences and Similarities between iPSCs and Embryonic Stem Cells: iPSCs and embryonic stem cells share some similarities but also have distinct differences, which can impact their use in research and therapy.

This volume is an essential resource for anyone seeking to stay updated on the latest developments in the iPSC field and its potential applications in medicine.
