About this product
Product Information
The topic of stem cells has been very high profile in the media in recent years. There is much public interest in stem cells but also much confusion and misinformation, with some companies already offering 'stem cell products' and bogus 'stem cell therapies'. In this Very Short Introduction, Jonathan Slack introduces stem cells; what they are, what scientists do with them, what stem cell therapies are available today, and how they might be used in future. Despite important advances, clinical applications of stem cells are still in their infancy. Most real stem cell therapy today is some form of bone marrow transplantation. Slack introduces stem cells by explaining the difference between embryonic stem cells, which exist only in laboratory cultures, and tissue-specific stem cells, which exist in our bodies. Embryonic stem cells can become any cell type in the body, so diseases that may in future be treated by functional cells derived from these sorts of stem cell include diabetes, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, and spinal trauma. He then goes on to discuss the properties of tissue-specific stem cells and the important technique of bone marrow transplantation. Slack concludes by analysing how medical innovation has occurred in this area in the past, and draws out some of the lessons for the development of new therapies in the future. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Recommended seller. CD dispatched promptly, seller not responsible for slight delay in delivery. Undamaged in transit, condition as described (very good). Competitive price for a rare 3-CD boxed set. No problems. Many thanks.

Arrived damaged - contrary to description. Large hardback packaged in jiffy bag. Probably damaged in transit -- sturdier packaging might have helped.
Contacted seller to try to resolve (with photos). No reply. At time of purchase a number were of this price. Prices since had jumped up. I was interested in a resolution that involved keeping it - even if it meant a damaged gift.
Would only use this seller for items where the condition is irrelevant and the price muuuuuch cheaper.

Item in Good condition as described (artwork/case in excellent condition, a few noticeable marks on disc but plays fine so no problem); delivery slightly later than estimate (was dispatched quickly and with tracking available, as have multiple previous orders which all arrived in around a week, so almost certainly just a bit of Easter disruption to postal services); safely packaged in padded envelope. Many thanks for usual excellent service at a great price.
