Taking a unique approach to the subject, this self-contained text introduces first the theory of stellar evolution in a clear and accessible manner, with particular emphasis placed on explaining the evolution with time of observable stellar properties, such as luminosities and surface chemical abundances. This is followed by a detailed presentation and discussion of a broad range of related techniques, that are widelyStarsEvolutionElectronic books.StarsEvolution.523.88Salaris Maurizio924345Cassisi SantiMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143706703321Evolution of stars and stellar populations2074325UNINA03056oam 2200505 450 991042463780332120210415153241.0981-15-4370-410.1007/978-981-15-4370-8(CKB)4100000011526806(MiAaPQ)EBC6380843(DE-He213)978-981-15-4370-8(PPN)258059311(EXLCZ)99410000001152680620210415d2020 uy 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierStem cell-based therapy for neurodegenerative diseases /Fabin Han, Pengzhe Lu, editors1st ed. 2020.Singapore :Springer,[2020]©20201 online resource (V, 145 p. 20 illus., 19 illus. in color.) Advances in experimental medicine and biology ;Volume 1266981-15-4369-0 Includes bibliographical references.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.Advances in experimental medicine and biology ;Volume 1266.Nervous systemDegenerationTreatmentStem cellsTherapeutic useNervous systemDegenerationTreatment.Stem cellsTherapeutic use.616.80471Han FabinLu PengzheMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910424637803321Stem cell-based therapy for neurodegenerative diseases2517379UNINA
