Academic Press Neural Regenerative Nanomedicine

Neural Regenerative Nanomedicine presents novel, significant, experimental results relating to nanoscience and nanotechnology in neural regeneration. As current research is at the forefront of healing the nervous system, the content in the book focuses on basic, translational and clinical research in neural repair and regeneration. Chapters focus on stem cell biology to advance medical therapies for devastating disorders, the complex, delicate structures that make up the nervous system, and neurodegenerative diseases that cause progressive deterioration, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis and multiple system atrophy. Review Presents the multidisciplinary, integrative, nano-enabled approaches to neural regeneration for a number of devastating neurological conditions From the Back Cover Regenerative medicine focuses on using stem cell biology to advance medical therapies for devastating disorders. The complex, delicate structures that make up the nervous system - the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves - are susceptible to various types of injury ranging from trauma to neurodegenerative diseases that cause progressive deterioration: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), multiple sclerosis and multiple system atrophy. Unfortunately, because of the complexity of the brain and spinal cord, little spontaneous regeneration, repair or healing occurs. Therefore, brain damage, paralysis from spinal cord injury and peripheral nerve damage are often permanent and incapacitating. Neural Regenerative Nanomedicine presents novel, significant, and interdisciplinary theoretical and experimental results related to nanoscience and nanotechnology in the neural regeneration. Innovative, paradigm-shifting strategies are required to advance treatment of neurological injury. The Neural Regenerative Medicine research is at the forefront of healing the nervous system. This research is multifaceted, ranging from basic science discovery to clinical applications. Content in this text includes basic, translational, and clinical research addressing neural repair and regeneration.
