The editors have gathered protocols from scientists with extensive reputation and expertise, describing and comparing currently used techniques for the culture of human stem cells and discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHuman Embryonic Stem Cells: The Practical Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e contains the first centralised collection of methods used in human embryonic stem cell biology. The book covers the derivation of human stem cell lines, the obtaining of cells from human stem cell banks, the culturing and characterisation of the cells, and the differentiation of the cells \u003ci\u003ein vitro\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ein vivo\u003c\/i\u003e. Lastly, almost all of these protocols can also be used for analyzing and manipulating induced pluripotency iPS stem cells. This allows an even greater number of opportunities for those interested in purusing work in pluripotent stem cells, disease modelling, and other aspects of basic regenerative medicine research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe novel and useful focus of this book sets it apart from other available books:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompares and evaluates the protocols used in leading laboratories working on human embryonic stem cells\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCentred solely on practical protocols for human (not mouse) embryonic stem cell research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes extensive troubleshooting sections\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses the different proclivities and behaviours of individual human embryonic cell lines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains techniques currently known only to a small number of specialised laboratories worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis handbook represents an essential source of up-to-date practical information for all cell and developmental biologists working with human embryonic stem cells or wishing to enter the field. It is also essential reading for clinical researchers in areas such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurological diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise from the reviews:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"...a highly readable and useful book… A notable feature of the book is its air of openness and honesty… This book… will help many to navigate the uncharted waters of human embryonic stem cell biology.\"\u003c\/i\u003e BRITISH SOCIETY FOR CELL BIOLOGY\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"... the imaginative solutions in this book can inspire us to get past our most frustrating limitations.\"\u003c\/i\u003e CELL STEM CELL\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"... the richness in the details of each protocol presented will certainly encourage more scientists to begin studies of Human pluripotent stem cells...\"\u003c\/i\u003e  REGENERATIVE MEDICINE\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"In this fast-moving field, this [handbook] will help drive advances of more and more researchers.\" \u003c\/i\u003e DIFFERENTIATION\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"...a valuable resource for seasoned and novice researchers... an excellent addition to the reference collection of any medical library or research laboratory.\"\u003c\/i\u003e THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eStephen Sullivan:\u003c\/b\u003e Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKevin Eggan:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChad A.
