About this bookThe idea that there is a liver stem cell present in the mature organ has only been under consideration for 20 years, and only taken seriously for less than 10 years. There is now an exponentially increasing number of papers being published on this subject, both in experimental models and in human lesions. There is a growing need for a concise, but detailed and organized coverage of this subject.In this book we propose to cover both historical and present data, as well as conceptual thinking on liver stem cells and how they are related to human disease and gene therapy. The organization and systematic presentation of this subject should fit exactly the need described. The reader will not only have historical information, now lacking in most published papers, but also new information that will be used as a reference source by the increasing number of workers in this field. It will allow investigators, both clinical and basic, an efficient and authoritative quick review of the field. Active investigators will profit the most. However, it is likely that many specialists in liver disease will find this book the best source for information on liver stem cells. | |||
