About this title

Review:

From the reviews: “In this book, the authors discuss the current understanding of the management of degenerative diseases of the CNS. ... Neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, and neuroscientists are the intended audience. ... the book flows easily and describes the most common research and technical protocols associated with human stem cell handling and separation. It is a well-referenced and illustrated book and worth its value for most labs ... . a good book for neuroscientists who are directly involved in the separation and production of human stem cells.” (Celso Agner, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2009)
