- Co-edited and introduced by the originator of embryonic stem cell research, this book provides a unique perspective on the field by this most influential of pioneers into ES cell research.
- Integrated approach to ES cell biology, dealing with mouse and primate cells in one volume.
- Compendium of detailed methods for the derivation and manipulation of ES cells, from acknowledged experts in the field. Provides ample details and trouble shooting tips to ensure reproducibility of experimental protocols.
- Covers emergent applications of ES cell research (e.g. research into mitochondrial disease, cloning etc.), as well as established areas (differentiation of ES cells into desired cell types) and thus gives a full range of the potential uses of ES cells.
The groundbreaking isolation of embryonic stem cells (or 'ES cells') of the mouse in the early 1980s triggered a sustained expansion of global research into their exploitation. This led to the routine genetic engineering of the mouse and revolutionised our understanding of biological processes in the context of the whole animal. ES cell biology remains a crucial and growing area of research with far-reaching implications for developmental and comparative biology as
well as for human health.
This book serves as a primer to ES cells, their derivation and experimental manipulation. It contains a broad compendium of methods of direct relevance to both graduate students and specialist researchers. An introductory chapter by the principle originator of ES cell research outlines the fundamentals and charts the development of the field. This is followed by comprehensive coverage of state-of-the art techniques for ES cell manipulation, with the mouse as the experimental paradigm, and by recent innovations with ES cells from human and non-human primates. ES cell-based therapies for otherwise intractable diseases are now being developed with the present challenge to control ES cell growth and differentiation for applications such as cell
transplantation - a recurrent theme in this book. As a volume in the Practical Approach Series, the emphasis is on current methods from recognised experts.Readership: Graduates in cell biology.
