- Authors
Han, Steve S. W.; Fischer, Itzhak; Han, S S; Fischer, I
- Abstract
Focuses on prospects for repairing an injured spinal cord with gene therapy. How neural stem cells could potentially be used to promote neurogenesis following injury and disease; Possibilities for transplantation of stem cells into area of degeneration to replace a missing or deficient product; Sources of cells for spinal cord repair, including neuronal-restricted precursors derived from the developing spinal cord; Questions on use in human subjects.
