About the Book

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Stem Cell Research, Second Edition is filled with new procedures and exciting medical breakthroughs, including executive orders from the Obama administration reversing barriers to research imposed under the Bush administration, court rulings impacting NIH funding of research based on human embryonic stem cells, edicts by the Papacy and other religious leaders, and the first success in cloning human stem cells. Stem cell biology is clearly fueling excitement and potential in traditional areas of developmental biology and in the field of regenerative medicine, where they are believed to hold much promise in addressing any number of intractable medical conditions. This updated second edition encyclopedia will expand on information that was given in the first edition and present more than 270 new and updated articles that explore major topics in ways accessible to nonscientists, thus bringing readers up-to-date with where stem cell biology stands today, including new and evolving ethical, religious, legal, social, and political perspectives. This second edition reference work will serve as a universal resource for all public and academic libraries. It is an excellent foundation for anyone who is interested in the subject area of stem cell biology. Key Features: Reader’s Guide, Further Readings, Cross References, Chronology, Resource Guide, Index A Glossary will elucidate stem cell terminology for the nonscientist Statistics and selected reprints of major journal articles that pertain to milestones achieved in stem cell research Documents from Congressional Hearings on stem cells and cloning Reports to the President’s Council on Bioethics, and more  

About the Author :
Eric E. Bouhassira, PhD, is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Department of Cell Biology, the Department of Medicine (Hematology) and is also the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Professor of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Bouhassira joined the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1990. He began studying human embryonic stem cells in 2001 and was the organizing force behind the three-year, $3 million grant for human embryonic stem cell r-research that Einstein received from the National Institutes of Health in 2005. He is director of the medical school′s Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research and professor of medicine and of cell biology. Dr. Bouhassira′s research focuses on developing hematopoietic (blood forming) stem cells that can differentiate into red cells, T cells, platelets, and all other cell types that comprise blood. This work could potentially aid patients needing transfusions and also save lives by expanding the immunology diversity of hematopoietic stem cells available for transplant. Dr. Bouhassira received his BS, MS, and PhD degrees from the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, France, in 1989.

Review :
"The target audience for this source would include upper-level secondary students and undergraduate students seeking basic stem cell biology information, as well as information on clinical trial updates, legislative information, and information on the ethics of stem cell research... Main entry narratives average two to four pages in length; some entries are divided into subcategory topics. Broad categories for articles include topics related to adult and non-adult stem cells, animal models, cancer stem cells, clinical trials in the US and worldwide, industry and educational research institutions, methods to study stem sells, key organizations and people, stem cell applications, and stem cell legislation or information related to country or US state... Most appropriate for high school libraries and college libraries that have a need for academic material on the topics presented." "The SAGE Encyclopedia of Stem Cell Research...is a valuable resource for academic readers at all levels. ...The set is a fine source for novice readers hoping to learn more about stem cell research as well as those who need specific information about detailed aspects of this field of research.  Given the broad appeal of this timely topic, the robust qualifications of the editors and publisher, and the lack of competing titles about stem cells with this depth and breadth, the work makes a welcome addition to any university or college library. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All libraries and levels." "The second edition of this encyclopedia updates the 2009 set and still features authoritative signed articles aimed at general readers and undergraduate students....This encyclopedia is recommended for academic and large public libraries, and libraries owning the first edition will want to replace it with this update." "...The focus on legal, ethical, and industrial issues, as well as the tone of the scientific articles, make [The SAGE Encyclopedia of Stem Cell Research, Second Edition] appropriate for academic institutions with or without stem cell research programs. It would also benefit institutions with science journalism or medical communications programs. Large public libraries with extensive reference budgets may be interested as well."
