Stem Cells: A Very Short Introduction by Jonathan Slack

4.0

Really enjoyed this book. Learnt soo much about stem cells and how they function. Also learnt about induced pluripotent stem cells and their application purposes in developing potential solutions for diabetes (developing beta cells from IPS cells) and epithelial cells (skin cells for burn victims). Really enjoyed the concision of this book as well and will definitely be reading more books from the very short series and from Jonathan slack himself. Its not the books fault but it did feel quite outdated already because of things like CRISPR and other technologies being developed after its release. Would be really interested in reading another iteration that is more up to date.
