Preface
This book provides a unique parallel view on animal and plant stem cells from various aspects. The book maximizes reader’s insight into research and application in its endeavor to understand the nature of these cells; their sources and categories; engineering of these cells, reprogramming of their functions, and their role as novel cellular therapeutic approach. Written by the author who has already published books and articles in this field, this new one focuses on all aspects of stem cells that were omitted in previous (such as expansion, propagation in culture, metabolic aspects) and gives the specific, multifaceted insight into the world of stem cells this time enriched with contribution of the second author who is the expert in plant cell domain. For plants, it is characteristic indeterminate growth pattern, requiring specific features of their stem cells. In contrast, the animal body plan is mostly defined during embryonic development, and adults generally lack pluripotent stem c
