Synopsis:

Embryology, hematology, neurobiology, regenerative medicine, and of course the mass media are among the fields seething with excitement about stem cells. Here researchers from major laboratories around the world provide a broad foundation for understanding their biology, looking at general issues, early development, mesoderm, ectoderm, and endoderm. Among the topics are cell cycle control and checkpoints, the Drosophila ovary as an in vivo stem cell system, embryonal carcinoma cells as embryonic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells of human adult bone marrow, neurogenesis, and stem cells in the epithelium of the small intestine and colon.

Synopsis: Stem cells are the focus of intense interest from a growing, multidisciplinary community of investigators with tools for isolating and characterizing these elusive cell types. This volume, which features contributions from many of the world's leading laboratories, provides a broad and authoritative basis for understanding the biology of stem cells and the excitement about their potential for clinical exploitation. It is a work of reference for investigators in embryology, haematology, and neurobiology, and their collaborators in the emerging field of regenerative medicine.
