Academic Press, a division of Elsevier, would like to announce the new second edition of Essentials of Stem Cell Biology edited by Robert Lanza, John Gearhart, Brigid Hogan, Douglass Melton, Roger Pedersen, E. Donnall Thomas, James Thomason and Ian Sir Wilmut.

This book serves the needs of the evolving population of scientists, researchers, practitioners and students that are embracing the latest advances in adult and embryonic stem cell research. The advent of cell reprogramming - that is, the ability to generate induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells - has transformed the entire landscape of the stem cell field. The new edition will include two entirely new chapters devoted exclusively to this topic and written by the scientists who made the breakthrough - Dr. James Thomson and Dr. Shinya Yakanama who are named among TIME Magazines Most Influential People of 2008. Fully revised, this full-color book continues to serve the needs of researchers, grad students, and professionals working with stem cells including those working in biology, tissue engineering, genetics, cancer research, virology, immunology, and biotechnology - groups that are eager to find out the latest information from the leaders in the field.

Dr. Robert Lanza is considered to be one of the leading scientists in the world and the eminent stem cell researcher. His works have been featured in almost every media outlet in the world, including CNN, TIME, Newsweek, People, as well as the front pages of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, among others.
