Preface

Nowadays, stem cells have a crucial role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Also, basic researches in this field and its clinical applications are growing rapidly. Therefore, investigators, clinicians, and other relevant professionals have focused on regenerative medicine as a multidisciplinary area of interest. Because of the unique biological characteristics and therapeutic potentials of perinatal tissue-derived stem cells, they are frequently suggested as an invaluable source for cellular therapy and regenerative medicine. In this volume, we address different types and pr
