Life - in a cell, or drugs inside us

Scientists suggest that in the next decade the number of cell technologies used will increase at least three times. What awaits us ahead, and when we can use the whole potential of an elementary unit of life - cells?
In this book, Sergey Kiselev, a geneticist, doctor of biological sciences, reflects the history of cell research, reveals modern successes in the study of how life is arranged and how much a person can manage it. And also shows possible areas in which the achievements of molecular and cellular biology of recent years can be used in practice. Much attention is paid to genetic therapy, the treatment of cancer and other diseases, cloning, stem cell research.

Sergey Lvovich Kiselev - doctor of biological sciences, professor, head of the laboratory of the epigenetics of the Institute of General Genetics
N. I. Vavilov RAS.
One of the creators of the first Russian and third genetically-therapy drug for the treatment of ischemic conditions.
He developed in vitro models of diseases to study pathology mechanisms and search for drugs.
Laureate of the Prize of the Government of the Russian Federation for the development of new methods of cancer. In the early 2000s, Sergei Kiselev and his colleagues were the first
in Russia received lines of embryonic stem cells of a person and then successfully published a cycle of the most important works performed on these studies. The field of scientific interests: early embryonic development, reprograming, the epigenetics of reprograming, the creation of models of socially significant and rare diseases, treatment methods and screening of drugs, gene and cell therapy, studies of stem cells
