Stem Cells in Human Reproduction: Basic Science and Therapeutic Potential Series: Reproductive Medicine and Assisted Reproduction

One of the first books to address the use and potential use of stem cells in reproductive medicine, this text provides an overview of the revolutionary advances in stem cell science that may potentially impact human reproductive medicine. An important, authoritative work, key areas covered include the production and regeneration of female and male germ cells, trophoblasts and endometrium from human embryonic and adult stem cells; new developments in hESC derivation that will impact clinical use; and cutting-edge technologies such as reprogramming, nuclear transfer and imprinting, addressed in relation to reproductive medicine.
