    About this ebook

    This book collects the most effective and cutting-edge methods and protocols for deriving and culturing human embryonic and adult stem cells—in one handy resource.

    This groundbreaking book follows the tradition of previous books in the Culture of Specialized Cells Series—each methods and protocols chapter is laid out exactly like the next, with stepwise protocols, preceded by specific requirements for that protocol, and a concise discussion of methods illustrated by data. The editors describe a limited number of representative techniques across a wide spectrum of stem cells from embryonic, newborn, and adult tissue, yielding an all-encompassing and versatile guide to the field of stem cell biology and culture.

    The book includes a comprehensive list of suppliers for all equipment used in the protocols presented, with websites available in an appendix. Additionally, there is a chapter on quality control, and other chapters covering legal and ethical issues, cryopreservation, and feeder layer culture. This text is a one-stop resource for all researchers, clinical scientists, teachers, and students involved in this crucial area of study.

      Amoebas are puny, stupid blobs, so scientists were surprised to learn that they contain 200 times more DNA than Einstein did. Because amoebas are made of just one cell, researchers assumed they would be simpler than humans genetically. Plus, amoebas

      In 2012, I ran a trip sampling the nautilus populations along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef explicitly to see if nautiluses living on marine protected areas of the reef are as rare as from places where they are fished for their pretty shells (such a

      Creating Human-chicken Embryos Clarifies ‘Organizer’ Cells

      May 31, 2018

      New research clarifies the outcomes of cells within a human embryo. Why, for example, does one stem cell become a neuron rather than a muscle cell? And why does another decide to build cartilage rather than cardiac tissue? New research illuminates th

      Water Volume Steers Stem Cells to Become Bone or Fat

      Oct 2, 2017

      Adding or removing water from a stem cell can direct them toward becoming either bone or fat, researchers report. Altering the volume of a cell changed its internal dynamics, including the rigidness of the matrix lining the outer surface. In stem cel
