I know this will appear to be self-promoting (and it is, but only), two volumes of “Cancer Stem Cells: The Cutting Edge” and “Cancer Stem Cells: Theories and Practice,” Stanley Shostak, ed., Rijeka, Croatia: Intech Open Access Publisher; 2011, FREE ONLINE are falling between the cracks or dying prematurely for lack of attention in the stem-cell community. I’m particularly interested in response (reaction) to my chapter on “Evolution of Cancer Stem Cells,” but I’m sure the other authors are equally eager for your reaction. Thanx for the posting.
The audio quality of the podcasts will improve over time I promise.
