    by CRC Press

    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; and the advantages and disadvantages of HSCT in the treatment of a variety of autoimmune diseases versus current conventional treatments. Arranged by disease, the text provides a comprehensive guide to HSCT for all types of autoimmune/immune disorders including monogenetic autoimmune diseases; autoimmune aplastic anemia; neurologic immune diseases including multiple sclerosis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, neuromyelitis optica, and stiff person syndrome; rheumatologic diseases such as systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus; dermatologic diseases such as pemphigus; gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn’s disease and celiac disease; and immune-mediated endocrinologic disease type I diabetes mellitus. Guidance is provided on the transplantation technique, cell collection and processing, conditioning regimens, infections, and early and late complications.

    "Over the past 25 years, the utilization of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) specifically for the treatment of autoimmune diseases has gradually evolved from an initial state of ‘salvage therapy’ for severely affected patients towards a ‘standard procedure’ for selected patients in the major indications multiple sclerosis (MS) and systemic sclerosis (SSc). The recently published book entitled ‘Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapies for Autoimmune Diseases’ now summarizes all recent developments and achievements in the area and provides the evidence and state-of-the-art of HSCT and emerging cellular therapies. The selected topics comprehensively highlight all relevant aspects of the procedures. The book was developed under the direction of Richard Burt from the Northwestern University, Chicago, one of pioneers and most eminent leaders in the field, in collaboration with the co-editors Dominique Farge, Milton A Ruiz, Riccardo Saccardi and John A Snowden. The book will attract a broad readership, particularly clinical scientists, clinicians and fellows dedicated to HSCT, both from a hematologic or autoimmune disease perspective.


    Overall, this book summarizes all relevant milestones in the field, extensively covering HSCT and cellular therapies in ADs, a field characterized by ongoing progress. It reflects on the dramatic developments and achievements of cellular therapies in recent years, along the dynamics of modern biologic and targeted therapies for ADs. The book is a valuable reading, serving as an ideal manual of good practices for hematologists, disease specialists, as well as researchers and young physicians. Finally, the book acknowledges the contributions and efforts of individual experts and personalities, first and foremost Richard Burt, all the co-editors and the authors of the book, to whom we bow for this work."
