Reihe: Culture of Specialized Cells

This book collects the most effective and cutting-edge methodsand protocols for deriving and culturing human embryonic and adultstem cells--in one handy resource.
This groundbreaking book follows the tradition of previousbooks in the Culture of Specialized Cells Series--eachmethods and protocols chapter is laid out exactly like the next,with stepwise protocols, preceded by specific requirements for thatprotocol, and a concise discussion of methods illustrated by data.The editors describe a limited number of representative techniquesacross a wide spectrum of stem cells from embryonic, newborn, andadult tissue, yielding an all-encompassing and versatile guide tothe field of stem cell biology and culture.
The book includes a comprehensive list of suppliers for allequipment used in the protocols presented, with websites availablein an appendix. Additionally, there is a chapter on qualitycontrol, and other chapters covering legal and ethical issues,cryopreservation, and feeder layer culture. This text is aone-stop resource for all researchers, clinical scientists,teachers, and students involved in this crucial area of study.
