The Science of Stem Cells covers the characterization of cells, genetic techniques for modifying cells and organisms, tissue culture technology, transplantation immunology, properties of pluripotent and tissue specific stem cells and, in particular, the relevant aspects of mammalian developmental biology.
Many misconceptions about stem cells are corrected throughout the book, in particular the idealized notion of a miracle cell that can cure all ills. Emphasis is given to stem cell behavior in its biological context and on how to study it. Throughout the approach is simple, direct and logical, and evidence is given to support conclusions.
The Science of Stem Cells, will provide the reader with all the background needed to become a stem cell scientist.
This book is accompanied by a website summarizing current clinical applications of stem cells.
