Mesenchymal stem cells in cancer therapy [recurso electrónico] / Khalid Shah. - Burlington : Elsevier Science, 2013. - 1 online resource (43 pages)
Front Cover; Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Cancer Therapy; Copyright Page; Contents; Genetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Targeted Foes of Cancer; 1. Introduction; 2. MSC Sources; 3. MSC Homing and Migration; 4. MSC for Tumor Therapy; 4.1 MSC Delivery of Interleukins; 4.2 Interferons; 4.3 Prodrugs; 4.4 Oncolytic Viruses; 4.5 Antiangiogenic Agents; 4.6 Pro-apoptotic Proteins; 5. Synergistic Approaches Utilizing MSC-Based Therapeutics with Other Antitumor Agents; 6. Encapsulated MSC for Therapy. 7. In vivo Imaging of Stem Cell Fate, Antitumor Agent Pharmacokinetics and Therapeutic Efficacy7.1 Optical Imaging; 7.2 Other Imaging Techniques; 8. Prospects and Caveats; Acknowledgments; References.
With the thorough understanding of stem cell biology and the advent of targeted therapeutics for cancer, stem cell-based therapeutic strategies are being increasingly explored for the treatment of various cancer types. The aim of this publication is to shed light on current stem cell based targeted therapies for cancer, by focusing on the application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in various cancers with emphasis on a number of aspects that are critical to the success of future stem cell based therapies for cancer. Different sections of this publication will be devoted to developing stem c.
