Lung Stem Cells and Their Use for Patient Care: Are We There Yet? -- Index.This volume explores recent advances in the use of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and adult stem cells (ASCs) in basic and clinical applications. The chapters discuss use of PSCs for drug screening, genome editing, modeling of kidney, motor neuron diseases, and diabetes as well as their application in cancer; ASCs are discussed in the contexts of banking of umbilical cord stem cells, use of multipotential stromal cells (MSCs) for bone repair, cellular interactions during fracture repair stages, and therapeutic applications of neural crest stem cells and lung stem cells. The text is organized by sections dealing with PSCs and ASCs specifically, presenting the reader with a comprehensive examination of both these forms of stem cells. Expertly authored and drawing from a wealth of international perspectives, Recent Advances in Stem Cells: From Basic Research to Clinical Applications presents a succinct yet detailed review of cutting-edge research in this rapidly expanding field. This installment of Springer’s Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine series is essential reading for academics, researchers, and clinicians in the fields of cell biology, genetics, nephrology, osteology, oncology, and pulmonology.Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine,2196-8985MedicineBiomedicine, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000XMedicine.Biomedicine, general.616.02774Abdelalim Essam Medthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910253898303321Recent Advances in Stem Cells2513543UNINA05761nam 2200709Ia 450 991095401400332120200520144314.09781283645973128364597197811182860501118286057(CKB)2670000000262538(EBL)875832(OCoLC)789150405(SSID)ssj0000722799(PQKBManifestationID)11416783(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000722799(PQKBWorkID)10699476(PQKB)11269985(DLC) 2012016844(Au-PeEL)EBL875832(CaPaEBR)ebr10608192(CaONFJC)MIL395847(CaSebORM)9781118283110(MiAaPQ)EBC875832(OCoLC)844971469(OCoLC)ocn844971469(Perlego)1011235(EXLCZ)99267000000026253819830621d2012 uy 0engurunu|||||txtccrPractice of professional consulting /Edward G.

REFERENCES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY INDEX."Despite the size of the consulting industry and its attractiveness to business school graduates, there is a dearth of agreement about what constitutes "professionalism" in consulting. The Practice of Professional Consulting provides the most comprehensive introduction to the field of consulting, including a complete system of guidelines, and all the tools, templates, techniques, case studies, competencies, and assessments to become a professional consultant. Broad enough to be useful to anyone starting any kind of consulting business, yet specific in explaining typical client situations, this guide offers new and aspiring consultants with a perspective of the rules, roles, values, methods, and techniques used across firms in the consulting industry"--Provided by publisher.ConsultantsBusiness consultantsConsultants.Business consultants.001658.46BUS075000bisacshVerlander Edward G1808698MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954014003321Practice of professional consulting4359086UNINA
