Follow-Up Care. Perhaps it is reassuring to find that because the field of BMT is sufficiently rapidly moving, it only partly succeeds in its aim of being truly up to date.

Accordingly, different chapters address stem cells from the liver, pancreas, nervous system, retina and lung as well as haemopoietic stem cells and bone marrow stromal or mesenchymal stem cells. The book is not divided into sections, but the arrangement of the chapters follows a logical progression. The first chapters cover different aspects of stem cell biology and, in particular, the chapter by Huang and Ingber introduces concepts about pattern formation, which will be crucial in the future in order to develop three-dimensional tissues from stem cells in vitro without a template.

The next part of the book consists of the chapters concerning stem cells from different tissues, which also address the potential of each stem cell type for future therapies. Finally, Doyonnas and Blau provide a well-balanced summary of the current state-of-the-art and pose many questions that, as yet, have no answers. For such a wide-ranging volume, The Stem Cells Handbook is remarkably successful in meeting the editor's goal of presenting a massive amount of information in a single resource.
