Stem cells : a very short introduction / Jonathan Slack.
There is much public interest in stem cells, but also much confusion and misunderstanding. Despite important advances, clinical applications of embryonic stem cells are still in the early stages. In this book the author introduces us to stem cells, explaining what they are, what scientists do with them, why they are important, what stem therapies are available and how they might be used in the future.
