The title "Stem Cells from Cord Blood, In Utero Stem Cell Develop­ ment, and Transplantation-Inclusive Gene Therapy" suggests that more than one topic is combined in one workshop. Indeed, at first glance the recovery of stem cells from cord blood has to be seen as separate from the attempts to achieve effective in utero therapy by stem cell trans­ plantation, because the first issue deals with an innovative stem cell source as an alternative to bone marrow, which is already spreading rapidly in medical practice, whereas the second topic is still strictly ex­ perimental and only investigated in medical centers with the appropri­ ate background. It is, however, not only justified, but helpful to com­ bine the two topics in one workshop and consequently to cover them in the same volume of the Ernst Schering Research Foundation Work­ shop series, because they are intimately related and both based on the new insights into the biology of stem cells. Professor Werner Arber, the Nobel Laureate from the University of Basel, pointed out in his In- Professor Dr. W. Holzgreve VI Preface The participants of the workshop troductory Lecture that our understanding of hematopoietic stem cells as descendents of totipotent cells and our current approaches to using them in post-and prenatal therapy have been furthered significantly by genetic engineering technologies which are "artificial contributions to the process of biologic evolution".

Langman's Medical Embryology, Ninth Edition Image Bank CD-ROM contains over 1,000 of the images from the Ninth Edition of this classic text. Figures appear in the same order as in the book, and labeling, figure numbers, and titles are included. Faculty may insert figures into electronic classroom presentations, use in a printed or electronic syllabus, and have slides or transparencies printed from the CD-ROM.

A comprehensive guide to cutting-edge methods used today across the dramatically growing field of molecular embryology. These powerful techniques take advantage of the most commonly used vertebrate experimental models: murine embryos for their genetics, chick embryos for in vivo manipulation, zebrafish for mutagenesis, amphibian embryos, and nonvertebrate chordates. The book emphasizes the most important methods of experimental molecular biology and the particular advantages of each different species. Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions, together with relevant background information and helpful tips, ensure easy reproducibility.
