Book Description

This abridged version of the bestselling reference Handbook of Stem
Cells, Two-Volume Set attempts to incorporate all the essential
subject matter of the original two-volume edition in a single volume.
The material has been reworked in an accessible format suitable for
students and general readers interested in following the latest
advances in stem cells, including full color presentation throughout.
Although some extra language and chapters have been deleted, rigorous
effort has been made to retain from the original two-volume set the
material pertinent to the understanding of this exciting area of
biology.

The organization of the book remains largely unchanged, 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.
