Placenta: The Tree of Life: Gene and Cell Therapy
Editat de Ornella Parolinien Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2021
Emphasizing the potential research and therapeutic use of stem cells, the book discusses the development, structure, and functions of the human placenta. It introduces overall aspects of the immune system, explains some of the immune mechanisms during pregnancy, and shows the role of the placenta in these mechanisms. Current scientific research is presented that focuses on the mechanisms of action underlying the therapeutic benefit of cells isolated from different placental regions.
An exhaustive examination, this pivotal work:
- Considers how perinatal cells may represent an important source for cell therapy approaches in the near future, in both human and veterinary medicine
- Describes the clinical potential of placenta-derived cells in regenerative medicine—specifically in neurological disorders, metabolic liver diseases, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases
- Explains how cells isolated from different placental tissues share basic properties
Placenta: The Tree of Life summarizes the advantages of perinatal tissue as a source of cells with therapeutic potential and is designed for use in the study of genetics, stem cell science, placental function, reproductive biology, regenerative medicine, and related fields.

Notă biografică
Ornella Parolini is founder and Director of Centro di Ricerca E.Menni, Fondazione Poliambulanza, a research center focused on placental stem cells and their potential therapeutic applications. Dr. Parolini and her team have pioneered the concept that the placenta harbors stem cells with unique immunomodulatory properties that are at the basis of the mechanisms promoting tissue regeneration after their transplantation. In 2009, Dr. Parolini was nominated as the first President of the International Placenta Stem Cell Society for her scholarly contributions and networking efforts in this field and was re-elected in 2014. She is author of over 120 publications in peer-reviewed journals and has several patents in the placenta stem cell field.

Descriere
The placenta is a source of non-embryonic (i.e. not from the embryo or fetus) stem cells that can be used for research and potentially for a variety of therapies. Stem cells can be harvested following birth, thus avoiding some of the ethical/moral concerns. This book is devoted to the therapeutic and research potential uses for stem cells. It al
