Description
-Easy to understand, with all terms defined and explained for beginners, while maintaining comprehensive content for professional-level reference -Richly illustrated, allowing the reader to visualize stem cells, their function, and surrounding research -Stand alone chapters provide easy access to important topics -Verified links and references help the reader easily find sources of accurate information Enthusiasm for stem cells in recent years has resulted in overwhelming coverage in current literature and media. The effect of this coverage is confusion over the implications, applications, and prospects for the future leaving behind many questions. This book provides readers with a state of the art overview of the scientific facts. It addresses the scientific fiction and presents foundations for readers to understand what the field of stem cells is about, where it is going, and why so many of the promised therapies are still far from clinical application. Peppered with interviews from some of the top scientists in the field, the authors describe examples of clinical successes and highlight exciting new research to provide a realistic and accurate look at stem cells and the surrounding research.
