Stem Cells in Human Reproduction

Following a successful first edition, this new book updates the revolutionary advances in stem cell science that may potentially impact human reproductive medicine. The contents cover the production and regeneration of female and male germ cells, trophoblasts and endometrium from human embryonic and adult stem cells. New developments in hESC derivation that will impact clinical use are covered, and cutting-edge technologies such as reprogramming and imprinting are addressed in relation to stem cells and reproductive medicine. A new section on actual clinical translation to IVF clinics from the stem cell perspective is also included.
