At
the dawn of this new century, we are entering a biorenaissance as far
reaching in science, medicine, and technology as the Renaissance was in
art, architecture, and exploration.
Anatomist
Leonardo da Vinci guides the reader on an epic journey from the
Renaissance to the biorenaissance we are entering. Embryonic and adult
stem cells, reprogrammed skin cells and primate cloning are among the
stops along the way as the century of the cell unfolds.
Foreword by
Brock Reeve, executive director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute.
