Stem Cells andRevascularizationTherapiesEdited by

Hyunjoon Kong andLawrence B. SchookUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA

Andrew J. PutnamUniversity of California - Irvine, USA

In the last few decades, significant advance-ments in the biology and engineering of stemcells have enabled progress in their clinical appli-cation to revascularization therapies. Somestrategies involve the mobilization of endoge-nous stem cell populations, and others employcell transplantation. However, both techniqueshave benefited from multidisciplinary efforts tocreate biomaterials and other biomedical toolsthat can improve and control the fate of stemcells, and advance our understanding of them.

Focusing on the fundamentals and applied stud-ies in stem cell biology, this book provides per-spectives associated with the development ofrevascularization strategies. To help readersunderstand the multidisciplinary issues associat-ed with this topic, this book has been dividedinto four sections:• Section 1: Explores how to define, isolate,

and characterize various stem and progeni-tor cell populations for neovascularization

• Section 2: Summarizes some especially use-ful model systems and approaches used toregulate angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, andarteriogenesis, and explores their impact onformation of functional vessels in vivo

• Section 3: Focuses on stem cell homing tosites of injury and inflammation, as well asstrategies to exploit this mobilization phe-nomenon

• Section 4: Covers stem cell transplantationtopics, including recreating features ofendogenous stem cell niches to maintainthe multipotency of transplanted cells andcombinatorial delivery of cells and molecu-lar factors

Intended to inspire new contributions toimprove the therapeutic efficacy, Stem Cellsand Revascularization Therapies outlinesemergent findings and challenges regarding theuse of stem cells in revascularization therapies.

Handbook ofLess-CommonNanostructuresBoris I. Kharisov, Oxana VasilievnaKharissova, and Ubaldo Ortiz-MendezAutonomous University of NuevoLeon, Mexico

When the area of nanotechnology developed asan independent field in the frontiers of physics,chemistry, materials chemistry and physics,medicine, biology, and other disciplines decadesago, terms such as “nanoparticle,” “nanopow-der,” “nanotube,” and “nanoplate,” and otherterms related to shape (“nanoflowers,”“nanorices,” “nanolines,” “nanotowers,” andmore) rapidly became very common. Since anynovel nanostructure could, theoretically, haveuseful applications, each new achievement iswelcome.

In an effort to organize the field, the Handbookof Less-Common Nanostructures presents anon-formal classification based mainly on theless-common nanostructures. A small nanotech-nological encyclopedia, this book:• Describes a range of little-known nanos-

tructures• Offers a unifying vision of the synthesis of

nanostructures and the generalization ofrare nanoforms

• Includes a CD-ROM with color versions ofmore than 100 nanostructures

• Explores the fabrication of rare nanostruc-tures, including modern physical, chemical,and biological synthesis techniques

The Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructuresdiscusses a non-formal classification not directlyrelated with dimensionality and chemical com-position of nanostructure-forming compound orcomposite and is based mainly on the less-com-mon nanostructures. Possessing unusual shapesand high surface area, these structures arepotentially very useful for catalytic, medical,electronic, and many other applications.

AnticancerAgents fromNatural ProductsSecond EditionEdited by

Gordon M. Cragg andDavid J. NewmanNational Cancer Institute,Frederick, Maryland, USA

David G.I. KingstonVirginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, Blacksburg, USA

The approach to drug discovery from naturalsources has yielded many important new phar-maceuticals inaccessible by other routes. Inmany cases the isolated natural product may notbe an effective drug for any of several reasons,but it nevertheless may become a drug throughchemical modification or have a novel pharma-cophore for future drug design. In summarizingthe status of natural products as cancerchemotherapeutics, Anticancer Agents fromNatural Products, Second Edition covers the:• History of each covered drug—a discussion

of its mechanism on action, medicinalchemistry, synthesis, and clinical applications

• Potential for novel drug discovery throughthe use of genome mining as well as futuredevelopments in anticancer drug discovery

• Important biosynthetic approaches to"unnatural" natural products

This book discusses how complex target-orient-ed synthesis—enabled by historic advances inmethodology—has enormously expanded thescope of the possible. It covers the current clini-cally used anticancer agents that are either nat-ural products or are clearly derived from naturalproduct leads. It also reviews drug candidatescurrently in clinical development since many ofthese will be clinically used drugs in the future.

Examples include the drugs etoposide and teni-poside derived from the lead compoundpodophyllotoxin; numerous analogs derivedfrom taxol; topotecan, derived from camp-tothecin; and the synthetic clinical candidates,E7389 and HTI-286, developed from the marineleads, halichondrin B and hemiasterlin.

"…in the science section of bookstores (thosethat have one) the shelves are stacked withbooks on origins of the universe and ondinosaurs (and biological evolution) physics,biology and geology, and never a chemistry-related book in sight. The bizarre aspect of thisbias is that we can go about our daily liveswithout the need to contemplate the Big Banghypothesis or the complexities of Darwinianevolution, but we do have to think about choic-es involving food & vitamins, pharmaceuticals,cosmetics, together with news reports ofatmospheric change, clean water, toxic chemi-cals, and so on."

—Geoff Rayner-Canham, Memorial University ofNewfoundland

"Simon is eminently qualified to write thisbook. He knows exactly how to reach the tar-get audience and I have been reading, and col-lecting, his articles for many years. He writes ina highly readable style with a lightness oftouch which the subject demands if it is toattract and hold a wider audience. He writessuccessfully both as a qualified chemist and asa populariser."
