About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This basic science book includes eight chapters on topics ranging from stem cell-matrix interactions to animal models of lung disease. … This concise book is written for basic science and clinical researchers interested in adult stem cells and pulmonary pathophysiology. … the information presented is valuable and informative, particularly if you are keen to learn more about the immunomodulatory functions of bone marrow stem cells.” (Bruce A. Fenderson, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2010)
“In this book, a number of leading investigators review the varied responses of different stem cell populations following physiological stress and lung injury. … The book is aimed at researchers and will be invaluable for graduate students or established scientists to dip into as required. Each chapter is well written, logical and serves as a stand alone review … . I enjoyed this book. The authors should be congratulated for producing an excellent book that reviews a difficult, fast moving and controversial area of biology.” (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, May, 2011)
