This timely book brings together leading neuroscientists, clinicians, and cell and developmental biologists to discuss the use of neural transplants in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury. There is also extensive coverage of the potential aNovartis Foundation symposium ;231.Nerve tissueTransplantationCongressesCentral nervous systemTransplantationCongressesNervous systemDegenerationCongressesNerve tissueTransplantationCentral nervous systemTransplantationNervous systemDegeneration617.4/80592617.4810952Chadwick Derek91632Goode Jamie283336MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830382803321Neural transplantation in neurodegenerative disease3965145UNINA
