Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Essentials of Stem Cell Biology, Fourth Edition is designed for the growing community of scientists, researchers, practitioners, and students embracing the latest advancements in stem cells. This comprehensive book, a collaboration of 7 editors and over 200 pioneering scholars and scientists, provides a thorough understanding of adult and embryonic stem cells. It combines fundamental concepts with cutting-edge research in specific organ systems, ensuring a robust foundation for anyone entering the field. Beyond the basics, the book delves into early development and the differentiation of ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
It covers methods, applications to human diseases, regulation, ethics, and patient perspectives, leaving no stone unturned in the stem cell domain.
