Human Embryonic Stem Cells 

 
  1 of 1  
      
 
General description  
This text begins by addressing the basic biology of the cells, in the context of the other stem cell populations present in fetuses and adult organisms. Discussion then turns to how stem cells can be used to further the understanding of human developmental processes, which currently lags far behind that of model organisms. Several chapters describe attempts to generate stem cell derived specific lineages as potential tools for cell based therapeutics, and these are followed by discussion of the legal and moral issues which accompany this ground breaking research.
