Gene Transfer and Gene Therapy

however, suffer from a problem implied by its title. Dr. Schull's attempts to make the book lyrical lead to the sin of vivid writing, often complicated by inappropriate usages. For example, it seems unlikely that the lanes mentioned on page 15 were "tortured"; "tortuous" is more likely. Can sleep come in "dollops" (page 22)? Do physicians actually ride jeeps like "marauding bees" (page 26)? (Ar...

Applications of Cell Therapy in Vascular Surgery

Trying to use embryonic stem cells about 20 years ago, working with animals,  especially rats began. During these years , many experiments in mouse embryonic stem cells to transform into a variety of cells and transplanting them were led to remarkable success . In the next issue of human stem cells were considered successful until finally in 1998 the first report was published in the proliferat...
