Stem Cells and Cell TherapyWith the discovery of stem cells capable of multiplying indefinitely in culture and differen-tiating into many other cell types in appropriate conditions, new hopes were born in repair and replacement of damaged cells and tissues. The fea-tures of stem cells may provide treatment for some incurable diseases with some therapies are already in clinics, particularly those from adult stem cells. Some treatments will require large number of cells and may also require multiple doses, generating a growing demand for generating and processing large numbers of cells to meet the need of clinical applications. With this in mind, our aim is to provide a book on the subject of stem cells and cell therapy for researchers and students of cell biotechnology, bioengineering and bioproduction. This book is exceptional as it teaches researchers stem cells and cell therapy in that it covers the concepts and backgrounds necessary so that read-ers get a good understanding of the production of stem cells.

Systems BiologyFunctional Strategies of Living Organisms

The objective of this book is to present the strate-gies employed by living organisms on a molecular level and to help understand the basics of Systems Biology. Its content is organized in a way to meet the exponential growth in the volume of biological knowledge, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the practice of teaching modern biol-ogy. For this reason, the whole material is divided into five chapters, each devoted to a fundamental concept: Structure-Function, Energy, Informa-tion, Regulation and Interrelationships. The book describes generic mechanisms which occur in bi-ology and promotes a simulation-based approach to the subject of Systems Biology. The use of basic knowledge as the background for presenting biological problems obligates the teachers to deal with generalized phenomena comprising the ever increasing volume of teaching materials.

C. D. Lagos, Durham University, Durham, UK

The Physics of Galaxy FormationThis thesis addresses two of the central processes which underpin the formation of galaxies: the formation of stars and the injection of energy into the interstellar medium from supernovae, called feedback. In her work Claudia Lagos has completely overhauled the treatment of these processes in simulations of galaxy formation. Her thesis makes two major breakthroughs, and rep-resents the first major steps forward in these areas in more than a decade. Her work has enabled, for the first time, predictions to be made which can be compared against new observations which probe the neutral gas content of galaxies, opening up a completely novel way to constrain the models. The treatment of feedback from supernovae, and how this removes material from the interstellar me-dium, is also likely to have a lasting impact on the field. Claudia Lagos Ph.D. thesis was nominated by the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University as an outstanding Ph.D.
