Book description
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
investigator's purpose, whether it's basic science investigation,
creation of disease models and screens, or cells for therapeutic
applications.
