Reviews

?This is an excellent resource on the new techniques for the engineering of stem cells and the delivery of transgenes into stem cells via various viral and nonviral systems. It provides comprehensive information on the concepts of cell engineering principles and their application in primary and stem cells. Researchers, established stem cell scientists, and graduate students interested in this field will find this book very handy.? (Doody?s, 17 August 2012)
