Since the first successful isolation and cultivation of human embryonic stem cells at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 1998, there has been both high levels of both interest and controversy in this area of research. This book provides a concise overview of an exciting field, covering the characteristics of both human embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem cells from other human cell lineages. The following chapters describe state-of-the-art differentiation and characterisation of specific ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm-derived lineages from human embryonic stem cells, emphasizing how these can be used to study human developmental mechanisms. A further chapter discusses genetic manipulation of human ES cells. The concluding section covers therapeutic applications of human ES cells, as well as addressing the ethical and legal issues that this research have raised. PART I: DERIVATION AND PROPERTIES OF HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS Ch 1. Fundamentals of embryonic stem cells Ch 2. Characteristics of human embryonic stem cells, embryonal carcinoma c

Industry Reviews

The book provides an outstanding introduction to embryonic stem cell research...The book includes an excellent mix of photomicrographs and diagrams as well as a few color plates...This is a well-written and easy-to-read, compact book. The editors have brought together outstanding experts and assembled a nice cross-sectional view of this enlarging field - Doody's Listings and Reviews

This book will be of tremendous help to those who have already started, or soon will start, a journey into the murky waters of stem-cell research - The New England Journal of Medicine, 354: 1, Jan 06
