Stem Cell Kinetics: Theory, Experiment, and Discovery is a concise guide to understanding the function of stem cells in tissues and practical applications for their investigation. The book provides a concise introduction to cellular, molecular, and biochemical processes that govern the function of tissue stem cells with an emphasis on the historical development of ideas in tissue cell kinetics. It studies stem cell kinetics during (mitosis, differentiation, apoptosis, and DNA replication) with an emphasis on quantitative analysis, mathematical description, molecular biology, and genomics. Applications such as identification, isolation, evaluation, and cell-based drug discovery are described.
