Features: Stem cell research is a field of study, a technology, and a burgeoning industry. Current advancements have indicated its profound theoretical significance in medical biology and promising practical prospects, earning it recognition as a frontier of contemporary biomedical development. Researchers in biology, medicine, and particularly bioengineering should have an in-depth understanding of stem cells. This book compiles the latest content from around the world, starting from the concepts, properties, and identification of stem cells, and systematically analyzes each type of tissue stem cell, including neural stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, skin stem cells, liver stem cells, muscle stem cells, and germ cells, covering their isolation, identification, culture, expansion, and potential applications. At the end of the book, there is a compilation of currently identified markers for various stem cells, as well as a bilingual glossary of professional terms with translations and explanations. This undoubtedly provides great assistance for beginners and researchers in stem cell learning. Therefore, this book is suitable for university teachers and students, as well as scientific researchers, particularly for clinical workers engaged in bioengineering research and organ transplantation using stem cells.
