Plant or animal? -- Mouse strain 129 -- The purple cell -- Mystery in a dish -- The embryo experiments -- The canary's song -- After the birth of Louise Brown -- Monkeys to humans -- Epic upon epic -- Marrow to brain? -- The art of cell replacement -- After tomorrow. [This book] describes early scientific discoveries that date back as far as 1740 before proceeding into the present to recount the incredible events leading to the discovery of stem cells in animal tumors, in the blood of mice, in the brains of canaries, in human embryos, and then in the skin, liver, and other organs of grown humans. It looks at the explosive potential of these special cells for the future of medicine.-Dust jacket. |
