Cell Therapy for Brain Injury [electronic resource] /
Hess, David C.editor.
This is a review of state-of-the-art cell therapy in the treatment of stroke, traumatic brain injuries and neonatal stroke and hypoxia-ischemia using a variety of cells ranging from bone marrow derived stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells to induced pluripotent stem cells derived neural progenitors.  This invaluable book covers this niche topic in depth from basic stem cell biology and principles of cell therapy through proposed mechanisms of action of cell therapy in stroke, pre-clinical data in stroke models, ongoing clinical trials, imaging and tracking of cells with MRI, neural stem cells in stroke, approaches using conditioned medium, and the "big pharma" perspective of cell therapy. Each of eighteen chapters has been contributed by a well-known leader in each field, thus providing a wealth of international perspective and expertise. Cell Therapy for Brain Injury’s breadth makes it essential reading for neuroscientists, stem cell biologists, researchers or clinical trialists at pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. It also serves as a thorough introduction for graduate students or post-doctoral fellows who hope to work in these fields.
