Only this is clear: Stem cells are the engine room of multicelluar organisms-each plants and animals. Nevertheless, controversies, breakthroughs, and frustration proceed to swirl in everlasting storms via this quickly transferring space of research. But what does the typical individual make of all this, and how can an interested scholar probe this huge sea of information?
The Encyclopedia of Stem Cell Research provides a clear understanding of the basic ideas in stem cell biology and addresses the politics, ethics, and challenges at the moment facing the field. While stem cells are exciting alone, they're additionally clearly fueling the traditional areas of developmental biology and the sphere of regenerative medicine. These two volumes current greater than 320 articles that explore major subjects associated to the emerging science of stem cell research and therapy.
