This book is a comprehensive guide on neural stem cell behavior in
health and disease. The book confers the altered behavior of
endogenous neural stem cells in neurodegenerative disease
conditions and the prospects of neural stem cell therapy for
alleviating brain dysfunction in a variety of neurodegenerative
disorders.Neural stem cell activity and neurogenesis in the adult
brain is now confirmed in virtually all mammalian species including
humans. Hence, a series of chapters in the first half of the book
discusses the current knowledge on mechanisms of neural stem cell
activity, the extent and functional significance of neurogenesis in
the adult brain under normal, aged and disease environments, the
susceptibility of neural stem cells and the plasticity of
neurogenesis to alcohol, drugs of abuse and anesthetic agents, and
advanced techniques that trigger neurogenesis in non-neurogenic
regions.A second series of chapters in this book are focused on
discussing the promise and efficacy of grafting of neural stem
cells and/or other stem cells for treating neurological disorders
such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, temporal lobe epilepsy,
Alzheimer's disease and spinal cord injury. The final chapter
confers on advances that are made in manufacturing a variety of
neural cell types from human pluripotent stem cells that can be
used as donor cells for cell transplantation.
