Description

New discoveries in the field of stem cells increasingly dominate the news and scientific literature revealing an
avalanche of new knowledge and research tools that are producing therapies for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and a
wide variety of other diseases that afflict humanity. The Handbook of Stem Cells integrates this exciting area of life
science, combining in two volumes the requisites for a general understanding of adult and embryonic stem cells.
Organized in two volumes entitled Pluripotent Stem Cells & Cell Biology and Adult & Fetal Stem Cells, this work
contains contributions from the world’s experts in stem cell research to provide a description of the tools, methods,
and experimental protocols needed to study and characterize stem cells and progenitor populations as well as a the
latest information of what is known about each specific organ system.


Readership

Medical and research libraries; stem cell researchers professionals in the field of tissue engineering; bone biologists
and cell biologists.
