But in the last decade, stem cell research has made  huge advances toward eliminating some of our most intractable diseases. Now  this sweeping and accessible book introduces us to this cutting-edge science  that will revolutionize medicine and change the way we think about and treat  disease. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Alice Park takes us from stem cell's controversial beginnings to the recent  electrifying promise of being able to create the versatile cells without  using embryos at all. She shows us how stem cells give researchers an  unprecedented ability to study disease while giving patients the promise of  replacing diseased cells with healthy new ones. And she profiles the  scientists and leaders-many with their own compelling stories-who have fueled  the quest and will continue to shape the field in years to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e©2011 Alice Park (P)2011 Gildan Media Corp\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instructional Systems [Aubrey J.
