Essentials of Stem Cell Biology
Brigid Hogan, Douglas Meltone altri
editore: Academic Press Inc
pagine: 584
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.
The key features include: full-color presentation throughout; each chapter begins with 3-5 defined glossary terms, and all of the terms are collected in a comprehensive list within the book; and, references have been eliminated - now there are about 10 bibliographic entries per chapter.
