Biology of Stem Cells and the Molecular Basis of the Stem Cells concentrates upon adult stem cells, particularly on mesenchymal cell populations, which arethe author’s area of expertise. The text offers the reader a detailed description of the emergence of stem cell research and the dogmas that were created during the first decades of analysis of stem cell properties, particularly those of hemopoietic stem cells. Biology of Stem Cells and the Molecular Basis of the Stem Cells also introduces the reader to the commonly accepted notions regarding stem cell biology, with an emphasis on an alternative view of stemness,i.e. the stem state. In keeping with the popularity of this topic, Biology ofStem Cells and the Molecular Basis of the Stem Cells addresses the major controversies and points of dispute, among researchers in the stem cell field. Overall, Biology of Stem Cells and the Molecular Basis of the Stem Cells presentsa well-rounded dialogue about stem cells as it not only concentrates upon thebiological elements of stem cell, but also addresses the controversy and hypecurrently enveloping this popular subject. Describes the development of the stem cell research field from its first steps and up to the current status Comprehensible to researchers in the broad field of biology and is not meant for stem cell experts only
