Handbook of Stem Cells 2Vol

hardcover - 1760 pages.

New discoveries in the field of stem cell
research have frequently appeared in the news and in scientific literature.
Research in this area promises to lead to new therapies for cancer, heart
disease, diabetes, and a wide variety of other diseases.

This two-
volume reference integrates this exciting area of biology, combining the
prerequisites for a general understanding of adult and embryonic stem cells,
the tools, methods, and experimental protocols needed to study and characterize
stem cells and progenitor populations, as well as a presentation by the world's
experts of what is currently known about each specific organ system.


The editors of the Handbook of Stem Cells include: Robert Lanza, Helen
Blau, John Gearhart, Brigid Hogan, Douglas Melton, Malcolm Moore, Roger
Pedersen, E. Donnall Thomas, James Thomson, Catherine Verfaillie, Irving
Weissman, and Michael West. The Editorial Board includes: W. French Anderson,
Peter Andrews, Anthony Atala, Jose Cibelli, Giulio Cossu, Robert Edwards,
Martin Evans, Elaine Fuchs, Margaret Fuller, Fred Gage, Richard Gardner,
Margaret Goodell, Ronald Green, William Haseltine, Joseph Itskovitz-Eldor,
Rudolf Jaenisch, Ihor Lemischka, Dame Anne McLaren, Richard Mulligan, Stuart
Orkin, Martin Pera, Benjamin Reubinoff, Janet Rossant, Hans Scholer, Austin
Smith, Evan Snyder, Davor Solter, Alan Trounson, and Leonard Zon.

This
comprehensive set should be a much-needed addition to the library of students
and researchers alike.
