FOREWORD. Q5 x( Z3 D# ^1 L
Stem cell biology is emerging as a field in biology with tremendous therapeutic potential.& k- _3 \4 P$ r8 P
Making this potential a reality requires an international effort. The recognition

r& o D% t7 }3 aof the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR). Central to the efforts of the
