Book Description
Pericytes were originally discovered and named more than hundred years ago as contractile cells around the blood vessel endothelial cells. Due to the lack of exclusive markers, pericytes are now defined by a combination of location, morphology and gene expression. Pericytes are attracting increasing attention as important regulators during development and during normal and disturbed organ function. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the identification and characterization of pericytes subpopulations and their amazing functions using state-of-art techniques. These advantages facilitated identification of molecular basis of interaction between these cells with several other more well studied cell types, and revealed key signals derived from pericytes involved in homeostasis, regeneration, and disease regulation. In the last ten years, several unexpected roles of pericytes have been discovered. It has been demonstrated that pericytes from different tissues differ in their properties as well as functions. Even more, pericytes are heterogeneous also within the same organ. This book is will describe the major contributions of pericytes to different organs biology in physiological and pathological conditions. The book will teach the readers about this so special cell type that 10 years ago was almost completely forgotten, and it was associated basically only with vascular stability. Recently, it become a very hot topic to work in. Several articles in Nature, Science and Cell have been and are being currently published about this cell type. These recent works are revealing how important those cells are for before unimaginable biological processes. Thus, this book will update us on what are the most novel functions attributed to these cells. Also, will introduce to the young generation all the history about these cells from when they were discovered in different organs till where we are now in this field. So it will be a great book for both cell biology students as well as researchers that will have an update on these cells biology in different organs.

Book Description
This volume discusses novel concepts in cancer biology, focusing on different factors that affect the tumor microenvironment. Topics covered include sex-based differences in the tumor microenironment, dormancy in the tumor microenvironment, the influence of obesity on the tumor microenvironment, and much more. Taken alongside its companion volumes, Tumor Microenvironment: Novel Concepts covers the latest research on various aspects of the tumor microenvironment, as well as future directions. Useful for introducing the newer generation of researchers to the history of how scientists studied the tumor microenvironment as well as how this knowledge is currently applied for cancer treatments, it will be essential reading for advanced cell biology and cancer biology students, as well as researchers seeking an update on research on the tumor microenvironment.

Book Description
Now in its fifth edition, Principles of Tissue Engineering has been the definite resource in the field of tissue engineering for more than a decade. The fifth edition provides an update on this rapidly progressing field, combining the prerequisites for a general understanding of tissue growth and development, the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and organs, as well as a presentation by the world's experts of what is currently known about each specific organ system. As in previous editions, this book creates a comprehensive work that strikes a balance among the diversity of subjects that are related to tissue engineering, including biology, chemistry, material science, and engineering, among others, while also emphasizing those research areas that are likely to be of clinical value in the future. This edition includes greatly expanded focus on stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, stem cell niches, and blood components from stem cells. This research has already produced applications in disease modeling, toxicity testing, drug development, and clinical therapies. This up-to-date coverage of stem cell biology and the application of tissue-engineering techniques for food production – is complemented by a series of new and updated chapters on recent clinical experience in applying tissue engineering, as well as a new section on the emerging technologies in the field. - Organized into twenty-three parts, covering the basics of tissue growth and development, approaches to tissue and organ design, and a summary of current knowledge by organ system - Introduces a new section and chapters on emerging technologies in the field - Full-color presentation throughout

Book Description
This reference work presents the basic principles of angiogenesis induction, including the roles of signaling factors such as hypoxia-inducible factors, biophysical stimulation and angiogenic cells. The book also covers lymphogenesis induction. Both the established fundamentals in the field as well as new trends in the vascularization of engineered tissues are discussed. These include pre-vascularization strategies using preparation of channeled scaffolds and preparation of decellularized blood vessel trees, approaches to inducing formation of microvasculature and approaches to inducing the growth of vascular networks. The authors expand on these concepts with current studies of dual-level approaches to engineer vascularized tissue composites. The book concludes with a discussion of current clinical approaches and the use of vascular grafts in the context of providing clinical practice with new tissue engineering strategies.

Book Description
A complex exchange of signals between endothelial cells and tissues occurs during steady-state and in inflammatory conditions. These interactions involve numerous cell types including an active contribution from endothelial cells and occur on both sides of the endothelial monolayer. In addition to functioning as selective permeability barriers, it is increasingly recognized that local cell attraction to endothelial cells provides the potential for focal interactions between relevant cells. In this context, cellular interactions taking place at the surface of the endothelium and within the perivascular spaces are thought to initiate crucial steps in the generation and shaping of immune responses. Blood elements (such as leukocytes, platelets, and vesicles) converge to the barrier formed by the endothelium where perivascular (such as macrophages, pericytes) initiate, convey, and/or amplify signals revealing tissue status. The innate and adaptative functions of endothelial cells themselves together with the immune functions of assembled cells at a focal point in capillaries create the potential for exchange of signals and dynamic fine tuning of responses through cell programming and cell selection. The resulting immune response may range from inadequate immunity and/or exhaustion to excess tissue destruction and fibrosis. Productive inflammation and its resolution are critically reliant on which cells are recruited and in which order, their state of activation, and interactions between recruited cells. Tissue-dependent signals further shape the recruitment of leukocytes to the endothelium. In the kidney for instance, in the presence of immune complexes, perivascular resident macrophages located in subendothelial spaces coupled with endothelial cells induce monocyte and neutrophil tissue infiltration, operating therefore as an anatomical and functional unit. The goals of this Research Topic are (i) to analyze how signal integration and partnering of cell types in transendothelial migration contribute to the development of tissue inflammation and how responses are geared towards specific profiles of reactions to injury; (ii) how the interplay between cell types including, but not limited to, endothelial cells, monocytes, resident macrophages, and T and B cells dynamically governs the immune responses that take place in the tissue; (iii) in which way do integrative capacities of endothelial and subendothelial cells shape and coordinate the successive recruitment of leukocyte populations.
