Neural Cell Transplantation
Humana Press Inc. (Verlag)
978-1-61737-919-2 (ISBN)
In the dramatic and rapidly developing field of neural transplantation for CNS repair, the most powerful contributor has been the vital research focusing on stem cells. In Neural Cell Transplantation: Methods and Protocols, leading experts in the field examine tried-and-true laboratory techniques in order to supply scientists with a firm foundation upon which further advancements can be based. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, the chapters of this volume include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and Notes sections, which examine tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Cutting-edge and easy to use, Neural Cell Transplantation: Methods and Protocols provides the most thorough and essential protocols that will allow new generations of neuroscientists to enter and contribute to this uniquely inspiring field.

From the reviews:
“In this book, the authors discuss the current understanding of the management of degenerative diseases of the CNS. … Neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, and neuroscientists are the intended audience. … the book flows easily and describes the most common research and technical protocols associated with human stem cell handling and separation. It is a well-referenced and illustrated book and worth its value for most labs … . a good book for neuroscientists who are directly involved in the separation and production of human stem cells.” (Celso Agner, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2009)
