Reviews

From the reviews: The three parts that makes up this volume, the first dealing with the basic biology, the second with the characterization of the adult stem cells phenotype and the third with the regulation of the life span of these cells, are all targeted to the critical evaluation of the techniques we use to distinguish adult stem cell-renewal from cell survival. ... The volume is well written and well illustrated ... . Well done! (Carlo Alberto Redi, European Journal of Histochemistry, Vol. 55, 2011)
