Stem Cell Assays

This volume explores the fields of stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and cancer biology. The chapters in this book cover topics such as embryonic stem cells (ES) and induced pluripotent cells (iPS); ES/iPSC derived tissue stem cells; tissue resident stem cells; assays for primitive malignant cells; and CRISPR/Cas9 engineering and transgenic model development. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.  Cutting-edge and thorough, Stem Cell Assays: Methods and Protocols is a valuable laboratory manual that allows researchers and scientists to learn about new techniques and approaches in this developing field.
