What is it about?

Introduction to Stem Cell Science is a lavishly illustrated book designed to provide those interested in learning more about the complex field of stem cells and regenerative medicine with an easy to understand, yet solid un-derstanding of the fundamentals of stem cell science. The authors provide thorough discussions of the different types of stem cells, including tissue-specific (adult), embryonic, and induced pluripotent stem cells, and current and potential uses for these cells in both research and medicine. The reader will learn about the challenges faced by scientists in developing stem cell-based technologies for use in research and clinical applications, as well as the history, regulatory and policy environment, ethical issues surrounding the field, current and potential clinical and commercial applications, and how to cut through the hype to truly understand progress in the field. Anyone interested in learning more about stem cells should read this book. The Genetics Policy Institute, producer of the annual World Stem Cell Summit, recommends it for members of the public, journalists, legislators, policy makers, clergy, business people, and anyone else who wants a solid foundation in the field. For those commercial enterprises in the stem cell and regenerative medicine space, the book serves as a perfect tool for business personnel who require a basic science foundation to the field.
