Stroke Recovery with Cellular Therapies (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Savitz, Sean I.; Rosenbaum, Daniel M.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

As the leading cause of adult disability, stroke poses substantial economic and psychological burdens to populations around the world. This groundbreaking volume discusses the promising investigations around the world on cell-based therapies to enhance recovery from stroke. It details the potential benefits of various types of cells and approaches for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, and all studies rely upon traditional histological and functional outcomes.

Among the topics detailed in this volume are transplanting immortalized neural stem cells, transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells, adipose-derived stem cells, endogenous neural stem cells in tissue remodeling, and an investigation into the ethics of stem cell research. Stroke Recovery with Cellular Therapies provides an overview of the field, stimulates ideas for further research, and will help serve as a foundation for cell-based therapies to move forward as a viable approach for stroke recovery in the future.
