Long description:
Stem Cells: Scientific Facts 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 firsthand commentaries in the field from clinical and research leaders, covering interesting topics of note, including the first clinical trials to treat Parkinson 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.
- Explains, in a straightforward, nonspecialist language, the basic biology of stem cells and their applications in modern medicine and future therapy
- Provides new and expanded coverage of cloning, organoids, "synthetic embryos, and much more
- Includes detailed illustrations to assist users with learning on how research is done
