Essential Stem Cell Methods

Informationen zum Autor Robert Lanza is an American scientist and author whose research spans the range of natural science, from biology to theoretical physics. TIME magazine recognized him as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,? and Prospect magazine named him one of the Top 50 “World Thinkers.? He has hundreds of scientific publications and over 30 books, including definitive references in the fields of stem cells, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. He’s a former Fulbright Scholar and studied with polio-pioneer Jonas Salk and Nobel laureates Gerald Edelman (known for his work on the biological basis of consciousness) and Rodney Porter. He also worked closely (and co-authored papers in Science on self-awareness and symbolic communication) with noted Harvard psychologist BF Skinner. Dr. Lanza was part of the team that cloned the world’s first human embryo, the first endangered species, and published the first-ever reports of pluripotent stem cell use in humans. Zusammenfassung Stem cells are of great interest to scientists and clinicians due to their ability to differentiate into various tissues of the body, making them a promising source of cells for regenerative medicine and drug discovery as well as a model of vertebrate development. This title features a set of protocols written by experts in the field.
