Biography
Federico Calegari, Claudia Waskow
"…covers the basics as well as the development of a variety of tissues with known stem cells/progenitor cells and stem cell models currently being used in the authors' laboratories. …it would be beneficial to those who wish to use a nonrodent model."
—Ellen Mary Andrews, PhD, Midwestern University
