Description
Springer Obesity And Diabetes by Chiristos S Mantzoros
International experts from world-renowned medical schools comprehensively review for practicing clinicians and scientists alike the latest understanding of the epidemiology, causation, and consequences of diabetes and obesity. The authors discuss in detail their diagnosis, clinical manifestations, complications, and best practices for diagnosis and treatment. They also review the history and epidemiology of these conditions, explain their genetics and pathophysiology, and illuminate their known mechanisms and interactions. State-of-the-art survey-chapters critique current approaches (lifestyle and pharmacological) to the treatment of these conditions._x000D_ _x000D_Human Embryonic Stem Cells: Isolation, Maintenance, and Differentiation Kursad Turksen and Tammy-Claire Troy Blastocyst Culture for Deriving Human Embryonic Stem Cells Ariff Bongso Propagation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells on Human Feeder Cells Mark Richards and Ariff Bongso Derivation and Maintenance of Human Embryonic Stem Cells Michal Amit and Joseph Itskovitz-Eldor Isolation and Characterization of Human Embryonic Stem Cells Maisam Mitalipova and Gail Palmarini Routine Culture and Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells Jim McWhir, Davina Wojtacha, and Alison Thomson Culture of Human Embryonic Stem Cells on Human and Mouse Feeder Cells Gautam Dravid, Holly Hammond, and Linzhao Cheng Maintenance of Human Embryonic Stem Cells in Animal Serum- and Feeder Layer-Free Culture Conditions Michal Amit and Joseph Itskovitz-Eldor Manipulation of Self-Renewal in Human Embryonic Stem Cells Through a Novel Pharmacological GSK-3 Inhibitor Noboru Sato and Ali H.
