The intestine is among the leading organs, in which several cutting edge in vitro and in vivo research tools and approaches have recently been developed and used to investigate stem cell biology/function, and the potential applications of stem cells in the treatment of intestinal diseases. These cutting-edge research tools and approaches involve human and murine organoid cultures, genetic editing in vitro and in vivo, human induced pluripotent cell (iPS cell) models of disease, haploid cells for genetic as well as compound screening paradigms, genetically engineered mice, and stem cell transplantation to cure diseases.

Stem Cell Innovation in Health and Disease: Volume 1: The Intestine contains two major sections describing cutting edge research for understanding stem cell functions in the intestine, and for developing methods to bring stem cells from bench to bedside; respectively. Each section includes insights ranging from using mouse and human organoid cultures, genetic editing in vitro and in vivo, and human induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) to study stem cell functions and model intestinal diseases, through the cutting-edge research, including the potential application of iPSCs, ESCs and blood stem cells (stem cell transplants) in the treatment of intestinal diseases/disorders. This volume, therefore, discusses the fact-based promise of stem cells and regenerative medicine in the intestine in the real world.

Provides intensive scientific background and most recent information on cutting edge research to understand intestinal stem cell functions and develop methods to bring stem cells from bench to bedside for different intestinal diseases Analyzes the current state, opportunities, and challenges of innovative technologies and stem cells from bench to bed, including organoids and the CRISPR gene editing system in the intestine Contains two major sections describing cutting-edge research for understanding stem cell functions and for developing methods specific to the intestine

This book highlights the integration of science and imaging and demonstrates how we can teach and learn in a much more accessible, innovative, and engaging way using technology. This volume is particularly focused on three main themes: advanced microscopy, anatomy education, and radiology visualisation related to patient care.

This edited volume draws on scholarly research and critical thinking about decolonization in the biomedical sciences, anatomical education and healthcare by authors from different areas within the biomedical arena, providing a multiplicity of perspectives.The authors appeal to and address educators in anatomical and medical education, medical doctors, researchers, scientists and illustrators in the biomedical arena. They add to current and ongoing conversations about the need for addressing Eurocentric and colonial thinking which have prejudicially impacted anatomical education, imagery production, healthcare delivery, medical diagnoses, funding and research. This book provides details of the historical origins of entrenched colonial and Eurocentric thinking which negatively impact on our biomedical field at numerous levels, to the detriment of many recipients of medical education and healthcare. Chapters address how a Eurocentric and colonial worldview is expressed in the production of the many images of the human body in educational material, that has till very recently depicted only people with light skin tones, to the exclusion of people with darker skin tones.The chapters in this book do not represent an ‘attack’ on our current educational and healthcare systems, but rather call for a change in scholarly teaching and academic research. Guidelines are offered for implementing practical changes. These discussions appear at a time in which the Global South is increasingly participating in and contributing to biomedical discourse.This book will appeal to educators of (bio) medicine in general and human anatomy in particular who are interested in the current thinking and discourse about increasing cultural inclusivity and visual equity in biomedical teaching and health care. We hope that these chapters stimulate thinking, promote discussion and contribute to the ongoing decolonial discourse within the biomedical arena.
