Recensioner i media

"The topic is intrinsically fascinating and clinically relevant ... I recommend this book for novice and experienced scientists interested in stem cell biology. It will serve as an excellent reference manual and practical laboratory workbook." (Doody's, 17 February 2012) "We would recommend this readable and well-organised book to all laboratories dealing with human ES cells ... This book will act as an excellent guide." (Development Journal, 1 December 2011)
