Stem cell biology is emerging as a field in biology with tremendous therapeutic potential.5 X& X0 L5 y0 U) M
Making this potential a reality requires an international effort. The recognition
0 ~! \. I. S- m- q3 Q1 athat such a promising yet multifaceted discipline needs fostering led to the establishment m& x1 G% N' z F% h8 e
of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR). Central to the efforts of the
4 z0 I5 x% g- N* ?; K1 T! _ISSCR is the development of tools to ensure the success of stem cell researchers. What: I, V2 b$ j6 e
better way to do this than to collaborate with Current Protocols to develop this valuable
/ }: `8 r# R% ccompendium of protocols in stem cell biology?
/ _! |' n4 F/ Z' B5 t" J9 H5 LStem cell researchers have developed a number of breakthrough techniques, from the7 O5 j& |, E1 T+ W, O
derivation and manipulation of pluripotent embryonic stem cells to purification and) V) c: S- Q7 o0 H4 W* R5 ~& t* E
transplantation of tissue-restricted stem cells from adult organs. A number of laboratories
# v, F- r6 f3 X u. Z8 s/ Mhave become leaders in the field as a result of developing such techniques. The more
- l: y* f# `6 x& refficient scientists are at implementing new and powerful methodologies in their own
( g) o/ c/ h4 d: l' Alaboratories, the faster stem cell biology will advance our understanding of normal
1 C1 G1 u* h+ A$ Cdevelopment and lead to the development of therapies. Thus, the availability of quality: _& \" C, r: W0 K: Q
protocols will have amajor impact on the success of the entire field. Current Protocols has/ g; q( h- ?6 E9 P
long been the premier volume for proven in-depth protocols regarding many aspects of2 b" i; z* |/ ~" Y2 Z3 T/ ~
biology, and this volume on stem cell biology will prove a valuable addition to researchers2 r7 M# t; H+ S( {
worldwide.
; V1 p: K5 K. q9 N2 YExperiments in stem cell biology must be interpreted with great caution as well as
1 @; U! n+ Z7 z& Uopenness to alternative explanations. For example, the recently discovered phenomenon8 `2 R/ j Q" [; i
of cell fusion in vivo or the existence of tissue-restricted blood stem cells in peripheral
% W* t8 |5 Z6 ]! q' Rtissues were initially misinterpreted as evidence for stem cell trans-differentiation.# D) A- [; q2 u) t: I" |! G: H, C# L
It is very important that this compendium of protocols highlight potential pitfalls as well
( c* T( z1 Y9 @2 V/ das maintain the opportunity for clarification and correction when the need arises. The& X( x9 T- G8 u0 l4 t0 S# U
fact that these protocols will be provided online will help ensure that researchers always& i* m1 c0 [, G. V% l8 e
have the latest, most up-to-date protocols available to them.! B1 @! G6 w' M. o3 p
The stem cell field is burgeoning, and, as I have seen within the ISSCR, there is a genuine. e* f7 { P9 f" O8 t
push to share information and interact so that the field can move forward quickly. There

and am drawn by the need to translate our research findings into therapies to help treat a% g( G2 o$ Q }* ]' f2 r! A \
number of diseases. The promise is great, but we need to deliver, and I believe Current
