Stem Cell Aging: Mechanisms, Consequences, Rejuvenation

“This book discusses the impact of aging on the many stem cell populations, the pathologies associated with the decline of stem cell functions, and the use of stem cells to attenuate stem cell aging. … The purpose is to provide a reference for researchers working in the field of healthy aging. The audience is clinicians and all scientists working in the field of aging, stem cells, and regenerative medicine.” (Michele Fornaro, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2015)
