Molecular Methods: Stem Cell Transplantation presents a compendium of cutting-edge research on the molecular steps involved in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activation and self-renewal. The emergence of HLA typing, and the positive impact it has had on the success of clinical transplantation is emphasized and discussed by notable stem cell researchers.
