Also included are chapters on the legal and ethical issues that affect stem cell research and researchers. Cross references in each chapter guide the reader to other chapters that may be of interest and emphasize the interrelatedness of the information in the book as a whole. New coverage includes disease modelling, drug development, and other cell therapy applications.
