(Ebook) Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology by Mick Bhatia, Andrew Elefanty, Susan J. Fisher, ISBN 0470528311

Published in affiliation with the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology covers the most fundamental protocols and methods in the rapidly growing field of Stem Cell Biology.  With tested and proven protocols from laboratories around the world, Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology provides methods and insights that will enhance the progress of global research.Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology is divided into three parts:Embryonic Stem Cells - covers methods for isolation of stem cells from a variety of model organisms and humans, characterization of these cells and the undifferentiated state, induction of differentiation into cells of the mesodermal, endodermal, ectodermal and extraembryonic lineages, and molecular and functional characterization of the differentiated state.Adult Stem Cells - includes the isolation of progenitor stem cells from differentiated tissues, their characterization, and differentiation.Genetic Manipulation of Stem Cells - provides tools for manipulating the genetic content of stem cells and for marking stem cells.Updated continually, this product will add new methods and ideas as the field expands. It employs the standardized presentation and format that has made Current Protocols the most respected source of methods for twenty years.
