I enjoyed this book it was well written and a joy to read. The authors gives insight to the subject matter that I felt was compelling and would recommend this book to a friend.

I don't usually read non-fiction, but when I do I want it to be both informative and hopeful. This book is so much of both that I hope a followup is written in a few years once the various studies are starting to wrap up.

I am definitely a layperson but I do enjoy medicine & science. For the most part this book was easy to follow and understand. A few of the concepts were a bit beyond my grasp, but I still understood the "why" of what was going on even if I didn't understand exactly "how" things worked. What is important about this book is that it made me excited for the future of medicine. Of the 11 most recent deaths in my family 8 were from cancer and 2 were heart disease. Incredible research is being done on both of those diseases with many of the things they are doing sounding more like science fiction than real life.

If you enjoy science or medicine you should definitely try this book out. I found myself starting conversations with people about the topics I read in this book because the information is too good not to pass on.

Fascinating book that really opened my eyes to all the breakthroughs in cell therapies. It was very exciting to read about those with diseases who have been cured due to many ongoing and new clinical trials. Cells are definitely the new cure and there is so much untapped potential waiting to be explored.

Great comprehensive book detailing the state of the medical science in using cells and cell therapies for all types of diseases. Includes sections on medical ethics, funding and the politics of research and development. Very interesting and well written for laypeople, although, necessarily, I suppose, the science did get tricky to read from time to time.

Great look at a future of medicine

I loved this book. Robin Smith and Max Gomez carefully but simply explain the science behind cell therapy. But while the title of the book gives the impression that the book is about a miracle cure for everything, the authors are actually very careful not to overpromise. They stick very closely to what the science actually is but also will give the wider implications. I like that type of science writing - this is what we know now and this is where it can go. At one point, the authors take a little detour away from cell therapy to talk about aging but it was well written so I didn’t mind. And near the end of the book, the authors again strayed away from cell therapy specifically, to talk about some broader issues in medical research, and this was my favorite part of the book. I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in science, and especially for anyone interested in medicine.
