Stem cells - from bench to bedside

 

Stem cell biology has gained tremendous interest in the recent years, and various types of stem cells have been identified . What is more, the isolation of human embryonic stem cells has been considered the biggest breakthrough of the 21st century.

Cures for diabetes, heart diseases, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and many other diseases via stem cell research is expected within the next 10 years.

This book brings together the state-of-the-art on all the types of stem cells, written by giants in the respective fields.

All the various chapters are written by renowned scientists in the specific fields. Many of the chapters carry extensive self-explanatory figures, colored photographs, graphics and tables.
