Bol Partner

This abridged version of the bestselling reference Handbook of Stem Cells, Two-Volume Set attempts to incorporate all the essential subject matter of the original two-volume edition in a single volume. The material has been reworked in an accessible format suitable for students and general readers interested in following the latest advances in stem cells, including full color presentation throughout. Although some extra language and chapters have been deleted, rigorous effort has been made to retain from the original two-volume set the material pertinent to the understanding of this exciting area of biology. The organization of the book remains largely unchanged, combining the prerequisites for a general understanding of adult and embryonic stem cells; the tools, methods, and experimental protocols needed to study and characterize stem cells and progenitor populations; as well as a presentation by the world's experts of what is currently known about each specific organ system. * Full-color presentation througout * Each chapter begins with 3-5 defined glossary terms, and all of the terms are collected in a comprehensive list within the book * References have been eliminated - now there are about 10 bibliographic entries per chapter

This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of stem cell. It talks in detail about the various methods and applications of stem cell in our bodies. Stem cells refer to the undifferentiated biological cells present in multicellular organisms. These cells through mitosis can divide to produce many more stem cells. The text will give thorough insights into this subject area. The topics like embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells will be discussed in detail in the text. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of the book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of this subject.
