With the excitement in the research and clinical communities over the potential of regenerative medicine, it is hoped that novel therapies will be developed to target intractable degenerative diseases. In this book, leading experts in the field present the latest advances in stem cell research. It discusses the analysis and use of stem cells in basic biology but also their application in clinical practice and is therefore unique by combining basic and applied approaches.
