Concepts and applications of stem cell biology : a guide for students

Concepts and applications of stem cell biology : a guide for students / Gabriela Rodrigues, Bernard A.J. Roelen, editors.

This textbook will support graduate students with learning materials rich in the basic concepts of stem cell biology, in its most widespread and updated perspective. The chapters are conceived in a way for students to understand the meaning of pluripotency, the definition of embryonic stem cells and...
