Aime & Scopes
- Sound and reproducible laboratory methods are the foundation of scientific discovery. Yet all too often, nuances that are responsible for an experiment’s success are not captured in the primary literature, but exist only as part of a lab’s oral tradition. The aim of each Current Protocols title is to provide the clearest, most detailed and reliable step-by-step instructions for all protocols relevant to a given subject area. Written by experts in the field and extensively edited to our exacting standards, the protocols include all of the information necessary to complete an experiment in the laboratory—introduction, materials lists with supplier information, detailed step-by-step procedures with helpful annotations, recipes for reagents and solutions, illustrative figures and information-packed tables. Each article also provides invaluable discussions of background information, applications of the methods, important assumptions, key parameters, time considerations, and tips to help avoid common pitfalls and troubleshoot experiments. Furthermore, Current Protocols content is thoughtfully organized by topic for optimal usage and to maximize contextual knowledge. Quarterly issues allow Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology to constantly evolve to keep pace with the newest discoveries and developments. Stem cell biology is a relatively new field; it shares a foundation with developmental biology and interests with cell biology, genetics, and medicine. Stem cells have enormous and as yet untapped potential for developing therapeutic agents for a wide variety of human health concerns. In addition, study of stem cell biology can lead to major advancements in our understanding of the basic developmental process. CCurrent Protocols in Stem Cell Biology is a comprehensive source for protocols in the rapidly growing field of stem cell biology, providing protocols for: /// Embryonic and Extraembryonic Stem Cells /// Somatic Stem Cells /// Mesenchymal Stem Cells /// Hematopoietic Stem Cells /// Neural Stem Cells /// Adult Stem Cells /// Multipotent Adult Progenitors /// Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) /// Cancer Stem Cells /// Manipulation of Potency /// Genetic Manipulation of Stem Cells /// Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine /// Regulatory Procedures, Safety and Guidelines Novice and experienced researchers involved in basic, clinical or translational stem cell research constitutes the target audience for Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology and contributions include protocols by Nobel Laureates, leading international investigators and ISSCR members. Sufficient detail is provided to permit duplication of the protocols in any laboratory, whatever the disciplinary background and level of sophistication.
