Wiley Partners with the International Society for Stem Cell 
Research

Parties to co-publish Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology in June 2007

Hoboken, N.J., August 29, 2006 - Global publisher John Wiley & 
Sons, Inc., and the International Society for Stem Cell Research 
(ISSCR) today announced they have signed a multi-year agreement 
to develop and publish Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology, 
the first comprehensive source of high-quality methods for 
isolating, maintaining, and differentiating embryonic and adult 
stem cells.

Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology will provide experimental 
methods established by leading investigators from around the 
world. Designed to help researchers realize the potential of stem 
cells for improving human health, the protocols will include 
basic and emerging technologies for the analysis of stem cells, 
as well as the processes underlying differentiation and 
development. Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology will also 
include detailed methodologies for isolating, propagating, 
differentiating, and performing genetic manipulation of stem 
cells from a variety of organisms, including humans; alternative 
methodologies for the generation of stem cells; experimental 
procedures to assist scientists in discovering methods to control 
differentiation; and promising genomic and proteomic approaches 
to the study of embryonic development.

"Wiley is pleased to be working with the International Society 
for Stem Cell Research," said Joe Ingram, Vice President and 
Executive Publisher of Current Protocols, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 
"This partnership will allow us to attain our goal of providing a 
comprehensive resource for this rapidly developing field. Current 
Protocols in Stem Cell Biology offers both basic methods for 
novice researchers and cutting-edge methods for experienced 
investigators looking to expand into new areas of research."

Len Zon, Professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital Boston 
and Past President and Founder of the ISSCR, who is currently 
serving as Chair of the ISSCR Publications Committee, said, "This 
interaction between ISSCR and Current Protocols will lead to a 
new and valuable resource for the field."

Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology will be available in June 
2007 via Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com), Wiley's 
online publishing platform.
