A landmark book by the senior science writer at Time magazine
introduces us to a medical breakthrough that can save our lives.
Few people know much about stem cell research beyond the ethical
questions raised by using embryos. 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. 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.
