Stem Cells Are Everywhere

By Irv Weissman and Irv Weissman MD

Book Overview

An engaging introduction to stem cells for young scientists

How do you heal when you cut your skin or break a bone? How does your body keep making new blood or brain cells, or even second teeth? How does a plant keep growing larger? The answers lie in stem cells, which are found in every growing plant and animal. Keeping the subject simple enough for young readers, a pioneer of stem cell research explains cells, tissues, normal growth, what can go wrong, and how to fix it.
