Stem Cells: Scientific Facts and Fiction

Stem Cells: Scientific Fact and Fiction, Third Edition provides a state-of-the-art overview on the field of stem cells and their current applications. The book incorporates the history and first-hand commentaries in the field from clinical and research leaders, covering interesting topics of note, including the first clinical trials to treat Parkinson's disease, macular degeneration and corneal replacement, the cloning of monkeys, the organoid field, and CRISPR-edited genomics. In addition, coverage of adult, embryonic stem cells and iPS cells is included. This new edition distinguishes itself from the multiplicity of websites about stem cells with a broad view of the field.
