商品簡介
Sixty-five international neuroscientists explore aspects of neural stem cells as tools in central nervous system and spinal cord repair. Sixteen chapters are grouped into sections on the fundamental properties of stem cells for and from the central nervous system (CNS), in vitro and/or in vivo manipulations of stem/progenitor cells for the CNS, and stem/progenitor cells in representative therapeutic paradigms for the CNS. A sampling of topics: sources of cells for CNS therapy, neural stem cells and their plasticity, signal transduction pathways that regulate neural stem cell division and differentiation, global gene and cell replacement strategies via stem cells, neural stem cells in and from the spinal cord, and utilization of marrow stromal cells for gene transfer into the CNS.
