Introduction

This book examines the technologies and processes for the development and commercial production of stem cells according to cGMP guidelines.

Therapeutic Potentials

The initial chapter of the book discusses the therapeutic potentials of stem cells for the treatment of various diseases, including degenerative disorders and genetic diseases.

Recent Developments in Cultivation

The book then reviews the recent developments in the cultivation of stem cells in bioreactors, including critical cultural parameters, possible bioreactor configuration, and integrations of novel technologies in bioprocess developmental stages.

Characterization Techniques

The book also introduces microscopic, molecular, and cellular techniques for characterization of stem cells for regulatory approvals.

Transport and Characterization Strategies

Further, it describes optimal cell transporting conditions to maintain cell viability and properties. It also summarizes characterization strategies of clinical grade stem cells for stem cell therapy.

Conclusion

This book is an invaluable contribution to having an academic and industrial understanding with respect to R&D and manufacturing of clinical grade stem cells.
