Neural Development And Stem Cells-2판

Abstract:
This extensively expanded and updated edition reflects the enormous
increase in our knowledge of the development of the nervous system.
Working from a new understanding that the regionalization of stem
cells occurs early in development and that this bias appears to
persist even after prolonged culture, Dr. Rao has added additional
chapters on olfactory epithelial stem cells and retinal stem cells,
both of which differ in their properties from ventricular zone and
subventricular zone-derived neural stem cells. A new chapter on cell
death summarizes the important changes in the death pathway that
occurs as stem cells mature. Special attention is paid to the
derivation of neural cells from embryonic stem cells. Authoritative
and up-to-date, Neural Development and Stem Cells, Second Edition
provides neuroscientists with a handy guide to stem cells in the
nervous system, tracing with great clarity the development of stem
cells from differentiation to neurons, astrocytes, and
oligodendrocytes.





Reviews:
From Reviews of the First Edition…

“…Mahendra Rao is to be commended on organizing such an outstanding
book in one of the most rapidly growing areas of basic and applied
neuroscience research…a seminal book that will prove valuable to the
neuroscience community over the coming years.” -Journal of Molecular
Neuroscience

“…a valuable tool for neurobiologists to unravel this complex
field…” -Drug Discovery Today

“…a surprisingly readable book…also very informative. Any
interested clinician that wants a broad overview of the field should
consult this text; so should anyone considering research in this
exciting and rapidly developing field.” -British Journal of
Neurosurgery
