Culture of Human Stem Cells collects and focuses on commonly used and cutting-edge methods and protocols for deriving and culturing human embryonic and adult stem cells.

Culture of Human Stem Cells presents clear, concise information that is immediately useful and applicable.

Chapters cover:

• quality control
• legal and ethical issues
• cryopreservatin
• feeder layer culture

Culture of Human Stem Cells is a one-step resource for all researchers, clinical scientists, teachers, and students involved in this critical area of study.
