Drug Target Review Stem Cells ebook

This ebook includes a piece by Daniel Morales- Mantilla, Dr Robin Parihar and Dr Katherine King, from Baylor College of Medicine, on a stem and progenitor cell infusion to improve the survival of mice from sepsis as well as an article by Dr Karen Litwa, East Carolina University, that explores how stem cell-derived spheroids can aid the study of the endocannabinoid system and autism spectrum disorder.

These articles include a piece by Daniel Morales-Mantilla, Dr Robin Parihar and Dr Katherine King, from Baylor College of Medicine, on a stem and progenitor cell infusion to improve the survival of mice from sepsis, which accounts for up to 20 percent of deaths worldwide and one in three hospital deaths

The endocannabinoid system may play a role in the development of autism spectrum disorder and might be key to treating people with severe forms of the condition. Also featured is an article by Dr Karen Litwa, East Carolina University, who explores how a bioelectronic assay is helping unravel the complex relationship between the endocannabinoid system and autism spectrum disorder in stem cell-derived spheroids, work that could help reveal novel therapeutic targets.
