Stem Cell-based Therapy for Neurodegenerative Diseases [electronic resource] / edited by Fabin Han, Pengzhe (Paul) Lu. - 1st ed. 2020. - V, 145 p. 20 illus., 19 illus. in color. online resource. - Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 1266 2214-8019 ; . - Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 1266 .

Chapter 1: General Introduction -- Chapter 2: Clinical-grade stem cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases -- Chapter 3: Stem cell treatment for Parkinson's disease -- Chapter 4: Stem cell treatment for Alzheimer's disease -- Chapter 5: Stem cell treatment for Huntington's disease -- Chapter 6: Stem cell treatment for amyotrophic sclerosis disease -- Chapter 7: Stem cell treatment for multiple sclerosis -- Chapter 8: Stem cell treatment for muscular dystrophy -- Chapter 9: Stem cell treatment for spinal muscular atrophy -- Chapter 10: Stem cell treatment for Retinal Degeneration -- Chapter 11: Conclusion and future perspective.

This book reviews the state-of-the-art in stem-cell-based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, and highlights advances in both animal models and clinical trials. It comprehensively discusses most neurodegenerative diseases, including such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases, amyotrophic sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and retinal degeneration, in which stem cells could potentially be used for therapy in the future. It also addresses the challenges and problems relating to the translation of stem-cell-based therapies into treatments. As such, the book will appeal to research scientists, physicians, graduate students, and medical professionals in the field of stem cells, neuroscience, neurology, neurorestoratology and major neurological disorders.
