Tekst achterflap

Stem cells occupy a unique place in biology: cells with the ability to renew themselves and to become many other cell types found in the body. In this book, you will follow the history of their discovery, from early observations in bone marrow research to the identification of embryonic and adult stem cells, and the more recent development of induced pluripotent stem cells. You will learn how these cells are studied, what distinguishes different types of stem cells, and how they are being investigated for use in medicine, from tissue repair to disease modeling. The book also addresses the scientific and ethical questions that accompany this field. This is an AI-generated book, offering a clear and accessible introduction to the science behind life's master cells.
