Stem cell biology is emerging as a field in biology with tremendous therapeutic potential.
/ K+ p- t( ^$ MMaking this potential a reality requires an international effort. The recognition

compendium of protocols in stem cell biology?

protocols will have amajor impact on the success of the entire field. Current Protocols has

It is very important that this compendium of protocols highlight potential pitfalls as well

fact that these protocols will be provided online will help ensure that researchers always9 U; k7 C% |+ J

The stem cell field is burgeoning, and, as I have seen within the ISSCR, there is a genuine5 E: G5 y; N! `6 F) C9 i7 f) ]1 t! n/ p

is a drive to develop not only excellent basic research skills but to bring the findings
