Primary and Stem Cells. Gene Transfer Technologies and Applications

О книге: This book describes basic cell engineering methods, emphasizing stem cell applications, and use of the genetically modified stem cells in cell therapy and drug discovery. Together, the chapters introduce and offer insights on new techniques for engineering of stem cells and the delivery of transgenes into stem cells via various viral and non-viral systems. The book offers a guide to the types of manipulations currently available to create genetically engineered stem cells that suit any investigators purpose, whether its basic science investigation, creation of disease models and screens, or cells for therapeutic applications.
