Springer Cellular Therapy for Stroke and CNS Injuries (Springer Series in Translational Stroke Research)

Cellular therapy for stroke and neural trauma has gained worldwide attention during the last decade and has shown some promising results. Various cells, including neural stem cells, bone marrow stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and many others have had protective or regenerative effects in animal models. The proposed book will address recent research on all relevant cell types.  In addition, it will provide information on cell isolation and culture skills, transplantation methods, and neurological functional evaluations. This is the first book to focus on cellular therapy for stroke and other CNS injuries. From the Back Cover The first book to focus on cellular therapy for stroke and other CNS injuries.
