  The dazzling promise of stem cell medicine: does it work and will it save us? Two experts look at the hype 
    
  For decades, we've been anticipating the dawn of regenerative medicine. Again and again, we've been promised that stem cells will soon cure just about every ill imaginable. If not tomorrow, then the next day, or the day after that, and so on. We're still waiting. 
  This book is an antidote to hype and a salve to soothe the itch for stem-cell salvation. In it, Professor John Rasko, a leading physician-scientist, and writer-historian Carl Power take us on a wild historical tour of this scandal-prone field. They expose all the dirty little secrets that the hype merchants prefer to ignore - the blunders and setbacks, confusions and delusions, tricks and lies. You'll meet Alexis Carrel, who discovered how to cultivate cells in a test tube: celebrity surgeon, scientific genius and suspected Nazi sympathiser, he opened the field of modern cell science with an experiment so bogus it blocked the way forward for the next 50 years. You'll meet Don Thomas, who developed bone marrow transplantation - the first successful stem-cell therapy - but only after a miserable decade in which most of his patients died. Alongside true stem-cell pioneers, you'll meet charlatans who cooked their data and claimed fake cures - sometimes with fatal consequences. 
  Is there any good news? Which of the many promises of stem-cell research have been kept? And what of the future? Rasko and Power insist that we can only know where we're going if we have a sense of where we've been. Their study tears down the hype surrounding stem cells in order to reveal what's still worth hoping for.

  Coding with Python - Advanced...

  This book will help you learn advanced level coding in Python. The first thing is to install Python. I have used Python IDLE that also is called Python shell for coding. I have also used Python text editor to write and run full programs. You can open an editor. Open the shell first and then open a new file from the file menu on the top bar. The newly opened file will appear different because it is not a shell but a text editor. Once you write a program in the editor, you can run it by clicking f5. The editor will ask you to save the file. Save it and run accordingly to get the results.  
  Python programming, just like all other types of coding, is meant to solve the problems that end-users face. To do that, you need to get additional information from the end-user. For example, if someone needs to check whether he is eligible to qualify for playing in the basketball team or whether he is qualified to vote in the election, you can create a program that can give him the right answer he needs.  
  In this kind of program, we must know the age of the user before we provide an answer, which means that we must build an interface that demands an answer from the user with respect to his or age. The user will enter his or her age in the program with the help of the input() method. Once he or she enters the age, they can know the answer. You can design your program, such as to ask them their names so that you can store their information for future reference.
