This book summarizes the global progress in medical and scientific research toward converting traditionally chronic autoimmune diseases into a drug-free reversible illness using hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and other cellular therapies such as T regulatory cells (Treg), mesenchymal stromal/stem cells, and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells in order to reintroduce sustained immune tolerance. This title provides information on different types of stem cells and immune cells; post-transplant immune regeneration; cellular regulatory requirements; ethical and economic considerations;

Transfusion Medicine and Scientific Developments focuses on unknown aspects of blood cells and transfusion practice. Blood transfusion medicine has become a sophisticated and specialized field of medicine. Some aspects will be discussed in this book. The book has been divided into three sections. The first section includes chapters describing the immunological and coagulation-assisting functions of red blood cells and methods to measure their life span. The second section discusses the role of platelets in inflammatory processes. The third section reviews

Transfusion medicine provides an excellent bridge connecting the healthy community donors with the patient's needs at the bedside; the dominant philosophy has been on patient care and science, but it is now realised that blood banks manufacture increasing amounts of blood components to administer to patients -- a role analogous to manufacturing functions. The concept of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is therefore relatively new. While quality has always been important, the impact of GMP, Total Quality Management (TQM) and Quality
