Beschreibung

For over forty years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been scrutinized and studied, garnering much attention due to their broad therapeutic efficacy. In this essential book, leaders in the field were assembled to contribute detailed methodologies for the isolation and characterization of human and rodent MSCs. Cutting edge and easy to use, this book is the perfect resource for scientists attempting to pursue this important and ever-developing field of research.

An essential guide to MSC research for both newcomers and established researchers in the field

Contains chapters on isolation and expansion of mouse and human stem cells

Explores stem cells from bone marrow and adipose tissue

Provides procedures for differentiation of stem cells along multiple lineages

Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
