Key Concepts: Far from being a simple technology or a commodity, the study of stem cells concerns a broad spectrum of issues lying at the heart of the phenomenon of life itself, and thus touches on questions that have been on the agenda of biological inquiry for a long time.Like most ...

This chapter discusses the history of the stem cells of mice and men. Building on the early work on teratocarcinoma stem cells, Martin Evans and Matt Kaufmann, both working in Cambridge University in the early 1980s, cultured the first pluripotent embryonic stem cell lines from mouse ...
Alternatives to stem cell therapy have been introduced, such as the use of adult stem cells acquired via bone marrow. There are also controversies about adult stem cell therapies. For example, some bone marrow cells therapies were proven and put into use, however we do not know the potential ...
Stem cells are specialized cells that are found in multicellular organisms. The have the unique capability of being able to divide and differentiate into a variety of different kinds of specialized cells. This unique ability allows stem cells to play many roles, one being to contribute as an int...

The concept that adult stem cells, despite their impressive proliferative potential, are immortal has been challenged by experimental studies of hematopoietic stem cells. In this review, we discuss the properties that characterize a stem cell, the growing list of tissues in which stem cells are foun...
In the last years, stem cells have drawn the attention of various sectors of society for many reasons. From the basic point of view, stem cells represent an ideal model to study and self-renewal mechanisms. However, their potential in cell therapy and regenerative medicine has triggered the in...
