Beschreibung
Cell transplantation to the brain and spinal cord is a
well-established research tool for studies on cellular and
molecular mechanisms, but can it be developed into a useful
therapuetic approach in human neurological disorders?
Clinical trials in patients with Parkinson's disease have
provided encouraging evidence, however, no treatment based
on transplantation is available yet. An overview of current
research is given in this book. It summarizes the status of
grafting in humans and discusses scientific problems that
have to be solved before intracerebral transplantation can
become a useful routine approach to treatment.
