• Sommario/riassunto: The groundbreaking isolation of embryonic stem cells (or 'ES cells') of the mouse in the early 1980's triggered a sustained expansion of global ; research into their exploitation. This led to the routine genetic engineering of the mouse and revolutionised our understanding of biological processes in the context of the whole animal. ES cell biology remains a crucial and growing area of research with far-reaching implications for developmental and comparative biology as well as for human health. This book serves as a primer to ES cells, their derivation and experimental manipulation. It contains a...
