Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: "This 2008 update of the previous book contains 9 new chapters as well as updates on basic stem biology, immunobiology … and the regenerative potential of stem cells. … Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation is a worthwhile and valuable reference text appropriate for clinicians and researchers alike, since it represents the most up-to-date and concise information in the field." (Paulette Mehta, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 301 (15), 2009) “This book will be … interested to many immunologists. It is a reasonable guide to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation divided into five parts. … For the dedicated transplanter this is a useful book particularly if their interest is in haematological disease. There are … useful sections devoted to the immunological mechanisms involved in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and some of the pathophysiological process underlying it. I feel the book will be … use to anyone but a specialist in the field.” (Andrew Gennery, Immunology News, February, 2010)
