This volume covers visual regenerative biology from current knowledge through future directions and implications. Fifteen chapters discuss the topic thoroughly, from fundamental aspects of developmental biology of the eye through the potential of stem cells and bionic eyes to improve and restore vision. The book also explores the impact of stem cell treatments and regenerative medicine in society. The economic and public health burdens of blindness are immense, in addition to the psychological and social implications for patients. While current treatments for blindness are limited, regenerative medicine offers exciting prospects for vision improvement or restoration, instilling hope in patients suffering from vision loss. Authoritative and timely, this book is a key resource for scientists working in this expanding and dynamic field.

This book combines the current knowledge on the role of lipids in stem cell pluripotency and differentiation. It showcases various approaches to the study of lipids and focuses on various types of stem cells and specific lipids driving maintenance or differentiation. The volume includes chapters reviewing roles of specific lipids in pluripotency, neurogenesis and exocytosis as well as in cancer stem cells. Examples of different classes of lipids—such as sphingolipids, lysophospholipids, cannabinoids and neutral lipids—are described and illustrate the vast biological effects of this class of molecules. The international contributors are all recognized experts in their respective fields. Covering the various aspects of the topic, Lipidomics of Stem Cells provides an up-to-date snapshot—unique among the literature—of where the lipid world is in terms of understanding the roles of lipids in stem cell biology. It provides an essential reference for stem cell biologists, lipid biologists, development biologists, students, academics and clinicians in related areas.
