About The Book

"Stem Cells, Volume I" by Claudia Waskow provides an in-depth exploration of the fundamental principles that govern embryonic and somatic stem cell biology. The book offers a comprehensive introduction to stem cell research, covering the basic biology and mechanisms of stemness, with an emphasis on the pathways identified during embryonic development. This volume highlights key topics such as cell cycle regulation, epigenetics, and asymmetric cell division, spanning a variety of organ systems from planarian to human models.

The book is organized into three main sections:

1. Basic Stem Cell Biology: Covers the essential principles of stem cell function and regulation.

2. Tissue Formation During Development: Discusses how stem cells contribute to the formation of various tissues during development.

3. Model Organisms: Focuses on specific model organisms used in biomedical research, with an emphasis on non-rodent models that are important for advanced studies.

With 670 pages of detailed research and findings, this book serves as a vital resource for researchers, students, and professionals in the field of stem cell biology and biomedical sciences. It is particularly valuable for those interested in non-rodent models and offers insights that bridge basic science and biomedical applications.

Review:
"…covers the basics as well as the development of a variety of tissues with known stem cells/progenitor cells and stem cell models currently being used in the authors' laboratories. …it would be beneficial to those who wish to use a nonrodent model." — Ellen Mary Andrews, PhD, Midwestern University.
