[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Stem Cells: An Insider's Guide is an exciting new book that takes readers inside the world of stem cells guided by international stem cell expert, Dr. Paul Knoepfler. Stem cells are catalyzing a revolution in medicine. The book also tackles the exciting and hotly debated area of stem cell treatments that are capturing the public's imagination. In the future they may also transform how we age and reproduce. However, there are serious risks and ethical challenges, too. The author's goal with this insider's guide is to give readers the information needed to distinguish between the ubiquitous hype and legitimate hope found throughout the stem cell world. The book answers the most common questions that people have about stem cells. Can stem cells help my family with a serious medical problem such as Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, or autism? Are such treatments safe? Can stem cells make me look younger or even literally stay physically young? These questions and many more are answered here. A number of ethical issues related to stem cells that spark debates are discussed, including risky "]
[{"$nulls":4},"treatments, cloning and embryonic stem cells. The author breaks new ground in a number of ways such as by suggesting reforms to the FDA, providing a new theory of aging based on stem cells, and including a revolutionary Stem Cell Patient Bill of Rights. More generally, the book is your guide to where the stem cell field will be in the near future as well as a thoughtful perspective on how stem cell therapies will ultimately change your life and our world."]

Per realizzare la seconda edizione il più ampiamente interessante possibile è prevista una serie di aggiornamenti significativi 1. Il libro sarà strutturato per supportare una varietà di programmi accademici 2. Componenti fondamentali e concetti ottici saranno supportati da un nuovo capitolo sui concetti di sensori e aggiornamenti/aggiornamenti del capitoli su fibra ottica, sorgenti luminose, rivelatori e modulatori. 3. Ciascuno dei capitoli sui sensori in fibra ottica esistenti verrà aggiornato con importanti aggiornamenti del capitolo basato su fibre etalon e sensori di intensità che sarà diviso in due. Verrà introdotto un nuovo capitolo su sensori a reticolo in fibra e rilevamento distribuito Brillouin 4. Verranno aggiornati i capitoli \"applicativi\" della prima edizione e nuove applic capitoli di azione introdotti sui biosensori in fibra e le strutture civili in fibra ottica. Il capitolo sulle strutture intelligenti in fibra ottica sarà ampiamente riscritto. 5. Saranno aggiunte domande ai capitoli che serviranno a supportare i tradizionali corsi universitari e post-laurea"]
