Review: This book is based on scientific papers delivered at a Symposium in Stem Cell Repair and Regeneration held in 2004 at Imperial College, London, and addresses a wide range of topics including the fundamental biology of stem cells, their manipulation, and potential clinical applications of treatment with stem cells in many diseases. Specific chapters deal with such controversial areas as the creation of designer cells, the merits of embryonic versus adult stem cells, and the risk of tumour creation when some cell lines are transplanted.
