Scientists are now confi dent to start testing different stem cell-based protocols in humans. For the fi rst time, we will be the pioneers, having the opportunity to do it right, setting the example for the generations to come. Contrary to conventional medicine, cel- lular therapies will replace damaged tissues and stay there for the lifespan of a per- son. Alternatively, stem cells can be used as a tool to recapitulate human development and inform us about the disease pathology, proving opportunities for novel diagnos- tics and therapies. This is an extraordinary example of plasticity, never seen before in medical history. The fundamental aspects of stem cells come back to the methods that were developed over the years to reach to this point. We have learnt how to isolate, grow, enrich, and differentiate stem cells. These methods are still evolving in the scientifi c laboratories all over the world and will be optimized for the differ- ent medical strategies. This book summarizes the most current and important meth- ods, and state-of-the art protocols to manipulate stem cells. It should not be seen as a fi xed textbook, but a snapshot of a new and dynamic era in medicine.
