Blurb

Stem cells, as therapeutic agents or as research or diagnostics tools, represent an emerging technology with a transformational potential that parallels the paradigm shift operated by the development of monoclonal antibodies in the 1990s, or even the coming of age of genetic engineering technology platforms in the 1980s. Those working with stem cell technologies face a complex matrix of ethical, regulatory, policy, logistics, supply chain, manufacturing, pricing and reimbursement challenges.
