Stem Cells and Good Manufacturing Practices

This detailed book explores the utilization and delivery of stem cells for therapeutic purposes in patients in the clinic and the tightly controlled Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) that make these powerful techniques possible. Fully updated and expanded from the first edition, this collection features a new set of protocols to arm stem cell biologists with protocols that are currently being used in a number of well-established facilities around the world. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and up to date, Stem Cells and Good Manufacturing Practices: Methods, Protocols, and Regulations, Second Edition serves as an ideal guide for researchers aiming to drive continued improvementsto GMP and accelerate new stem cell treatments for patients in need.

Includes cutting-edge techniques Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results Contains key implementation advice from the experts
