Human embryonic stem cells [electronic resource] / edited by Arlene Chiu and Mahendra S. Rao.

Although there is great interest in the potential for using stem cells as cell replacements and other treatments for diseases that currently have no cure, research on the biology of human embryonic stem cells is still in its infancy. In Human Embryonic Stem Cells, pioneers, leaders, and experts in t...
