Stem cells in the adult human brain

Aminul I Ahmed et al. Br J Neurosurg. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

The rapidly advancing field of stem cell research holds great promise for regenerative medicine. Regenerating brain tissue, while technically the most challenging application of stem cell biology, is also likely to reap the most reward for patients. Here, we review the current state of stem cell research in the field of human neuroscience and highlight aspects that will be of relevance to neurosurgeons.
