Summary:

Discover how perinatal stem cells may prove to be a more powerful therapeutic tool than embryonic stem cells Normally discarded as medical waste, perinatal stem cells are an incredible source of stem cells and are gaining phenomenal research attention for their potential to become a more powerful alternative to the controversial embryonic stem cells. In response to this growing field, this book provides a thorough tutorial on the current state of the art in perinatal stem cells. Presented by a panel of authorities whose expertise reaches from research to hematology to tissue enginee
