Neural Regeneration (Hardcover, UK ed.)

Nervous system injuries, including peripheral nerve injuries, brain and spinal cord injuries, and stroke affect millions of people worldwide every year. As a result of this high incidence of neurological injuries, neural regeneration and repair is becoming a rapid growing field dedicated to the new discoveries to promote structural and functional recoveries based on neural regeneration. The ultimate goal is to translate most optimal regenerative strategies to treatments of human nervous system injuries. "

Neural Regeneration" provides an overview of cutting-edge knowledge on a broad spectrum of neural regeneration, including 1) neural regeneration in lower vertebrates, 2) neural regeneration in the peripheral nervous system, 3) neural regeneration in the central nervous system, 4) transplantation-mediated neural regeneration, and 5) clinical and translational research on neural regeneration. The contributors of this book are experts in each of their respective fields and are highly international including scientists working at different institutions in the United States, Canada, Australia and China.

This valuable reference book will be useful for students, postdoctors, and basic and clinical scientists who are interested in neural regeneration research.
