Stem cells are the engine room of multicelluar organisms--both plants and animals. However, controversies, breakthroughs, and frustration continue to swirl in eternal storms through this rapidly moving area of research.
The Encyclopedia of Stem Cell Research provides a clear understanding of the basic concepts in stem cell biology and addresses the politics, ethics, and challenges currently facing the field. These two volumes present more than 320 articles that explore major topics related to the emerging science of stem cell research and therapy.
With contributions from scholars and institutional experts in the stem cell and social sciences, this encyclopedia provides a primarily nonscientific resource to understanding the complexities of stem cell research for academic and public libraries. |
