Reviews

From the reviews: The editors and authors of this book not only address current clinical science and banking of umbilical-cord blood, but also advance new concepts in medical therapeutics that use umbilical-cord blood. ! This book provides a clear summary of work that provides clues to the unique molecular and cellular biology of stem cells ! . The editors of this book ! making Frontiers of Cord Blood Science a valuable reference for researchers and clinicians who are interested in the evolving field of cellular therapies. (Mary J. Laughlin, New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 361 (3), July, 2009) Studies with cord blood present a new field of science. It is a source of hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells, and enables investigation in genetics, immunology, etc. The book also explores possible future uses for stem cell transplantation and other therapeutic applications. A timely text. (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 7 (3), March-April, 2010) The contens of this book are extremely important for ! the field of transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cells. ! The extensiveness of the topics covered makes it a useful guide for specialists in this sector. ! text shall be responsible for spreading the knowledge acquired to date and, therefore, for inducing researchers to explore all possible fields of future applications ! . text to be of high scientific importance and are certain it will lead to further progress in clinical research and application.
