Stem Cells : From Mechanisms to Technologies

Stem Cells : From Mechanisms to Technologies / Michal K. Stachowiak, Emmanuel S. Tzanakakis, editors.

Advances in stem cell biology and biotechnology have sparked hopes that therapies will soon be available for maladies which were considered incurable before. However, realization of the clinical potential of stem cells will require better understanding of stem cell physiology and the development of...
