The Science of Stem Cells by Jonathan Slack

摘要

For some time, stem cells have captured the imagination of the media and the public, promising an era of personalized medicine, and therapies for a multitude of diseases. But what about the science underlying these claims? In this book, Jonathan Slack introduces the basic science underpinning stem cell biology, giving an overview of cell and developmental biology. Although he makes clear, in the introduction, that he will not explore the clinical applications of stem cells, an online resource is provided, to explore this further.
