Stem Cells

Nuclear Reprogramming and Therapeutic Applications
Herausgeber: Bock, Gregory R; Goode, Jamie A

• Buch mit Leinen-Einband

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the factors that maintain stem cells in a pluripontent state or drive them to create differentiated and lineage-committed cells in vitro and in vivo.
_ Gives a comprehensive overview of current issues in stem cell research
_ Unites a general consideration of stem cell research with a specific concentration on the key issue of nuclear reprogramming
_ Discusses important ethical and policy issues which create the framework within which scientists carry out stem cell research
_ Contributions from leading figures in the field
