Publisher's Synopsis
Stem cells are the focus of intense interest from a growing, multidisciplinary community of investigators with tools for isolating and characterizing these elusive cell types. This volume, which features contributions from many of the world's leading laboratories, provides a broad and authoritative basis for understanding the biology of stem cells and the excitement about their potential for clinical exploitation. It is a work of reference for investigators in embryology, haematology, and neurobiology, and their collaborators in the emerging field of regenerative medicine.
