Stem cells. Volume 1, Basic stem cell biology, tissue formation during development, and model organisms : from basic research to therapy / editors, Federico Calegari, Claudia Waskow.

The first volume of Stem Cells deals with the fundamental principles that govern embryonic and somatic stem cell biology. Historically, the identification and characterization of such pathways and general rules of stemness occurred during embryonic development and Volume I reflects this with topics...
