In this book, the authors gather and present topical research in the study of cell transplantation. Topics discussed in this compilation include cell transplantation in chronic kidney disease; dendritic cells in allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation; islet cell transplantation replacing beta cells that produce insulin in a diabetes cure; ocular surface reconstruction using cellular therapies; cell therapy on ischemic flaps and new therapeutic strategy for veno-occlusive disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
