Published in affiliation with the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology (CPSC) covers the most fundamental protocols and methods in the rapidly growing field of stem cell biology.

Updated monthly, CPSC will constantly evolve with thelatest developments and breakthroughs in the field. Drawing on the expertise of leading researchers from around the world, Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology includes methods and insights that will enhance the progress of global research.

To start, Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology will cover research in:

• Embryonic Stem Cells - methods for isolation of stem cells from a variety of model organisms and humans, characterization of these cells and the undifferentiated state, induction of differentiation into cells of the mesodermal, endodermal, ectodermal, and extraembryonic lineages, and molecular and functional characterization of the differentiated state.
• Adult Stem Cells - isolation of progenitor stem cells from differentiated tissues, their characterization, and differentiation.
• Genetic Manipulation of Stem Cells - tools for manipulating the genetic content of stem cells and for marking stem cells.

Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology will add new methods and ideas as the field expands. It employs the standardized presentation and format that has made Current Protocols the most respected source of methods for twenty years.
