Functional Neural Transplantation III

This special two-volume edition of Progress in Brain Research presents a comprehensive and authoritative review of functional neural transplantation, one of the most dynamic and promising areas in neuroscience. Designed for both newcomers and established researchers, these volumes offer a rich synthesis of current knowledge, experimental models, clinical developments, and emerging technologies in neural grafting and brain repair.

Bringing together contributions from leading experts worldwide, the volumes explore key advances in the transplantation of neural tissues and cells for treating neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, spinal cord injury, and stroke. Emphasizing both foundational principles and translational potential, this work serves as a crucial reference and launching pad for future innovations in neuroregeneration and restorative neurology.

Key Features:

• Two-Volume Scope: Comprehensive coverage of neural transplantation from basic science to clinical applications, offering continuity and depth across volumes.

• Multidisciplinary Perspective: Integrates findings from neurobiology, cell therapy, immunology, and clinical neurology to reflect the complex, interdisciplinary nature of the field.

• State-of-the-Art Reviews: Summarizes the latest experimental findings, graft survival strategies, and functional recovery data, providing a reliable knowledge base for research planning.

• Clinical Relevance: Discusses past and ongoing clinical trials, ethical considerations, and regulatory landscapes that shape the translation of transplantation therapies to human patients.

• Emerging Therapies and Tools: Covers novel cell sources (e.g., stem cells, iPSCs), biomaterial scaffolds, imaging tools, and gene editing technologies used in modern transplantation research.

• Expert Contributors: Written by a global team of scientists and clinicians recognized for their pioneering work in brain repair and cell-based therapies.

• Ideal for Multiple Audiences: An invaluable resource for neuroscientists, clinicians, cell biologists, graduate students, and translational researchers entering or advancing in the field.
