Lanza Robert, Gearhart John. Essentials of Stem Cell Biology
Очень интересная книга о стволовых клетках. Бестлер мировой.

This large book follows the common trend in new and emerging sciences in being written by a large number of authors who are active researchers in the field. The science simply has not yet had time to resolve itself into a common body of knowledge that one author can present to the world.

In this book there are some 200 contributors from literally around the world. A quick scan shows people from the United States, Israel, the UK, Italy, Switzerland, Australia, Japan and more. As you would expect each team of authors concentrates on the particular area of research in which he is engaged. This gives you an up to date view of the state of the art at the risk of having chapters of unequal quality.

The book starts off with the simple question, "What are stem cells. " There are then chapters on what they do, how they work, methods and procedures used in research, and several chapters on how stem cell research is developing treatments for various diseases. The book concludes with four chapters on the regulations and ethics of stem cell research. This includes chapters on govemental and religious aspects. This sections concludes with a paper by the actress Mary Tyler Moore who has had type 1 diabetes for more than 40 years. She titles her chapter "It's Not About Curiosity, It's About Cures. "

This book is the definitive state of the art as it exists today.

Since the publication of the first edition of Mitochondrial DNA: Methods and Protocols in 2002, the number of unique heritable mtDNA mutations recognized as being associated with bioenergetic dysfunction, cell death, and disease has grown apace. At the same time, our understanding of the basic biology of somatic mtDNA mutations has improved. These ongoing advancements are due largely to the continuous development and improvement of techniques and...
