This book is about problems arise when stem cells encounter the mature brain parenchyma, still hampering the development of efficacious therapeutic approaches with endogenous or exogenously-delivered neural stem cells. Section 1 Neural Stem Cells as Progenitor Cells 1 Systems for ex-vivo Isolation and Culturing of Neural Stem Cells 2 Neural Stem Cell Heterogeneity 3 Diversity of Neural Stem/Progenitor Populations: Varieties by Age, Regional Origin and Environment 4 Reactive Muller Glia as Potential Retinal Progenitors 5 Neural Stem Cell: Tools to Unravel Pathogenetic Mechanisms and to Test Novel Drugs for CNS Diseases Section 2 Neural Stem Cells and Neurogenesis 6 Postnatal Neurogenesis in the Subventricular Zone: A Manipulate Source for CNS Plasticity and Repair 7 Modulation of Adult Neurogenesis by the Nitric Oxide System 8 A Vascular Perspective on Neurogenesis 9 Parenchymal Neuro-Glio-Genesis Versus Germinal Layer-Derived Neurogenesis: Two Faces of Central Nervous System Structural Plasticity Section 3 Neural Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine 10 A Survey of the Molecular Basis for the Generation of Functional Dopaminergic Neurons from Pluripotent Stem Cells: Insights from Regenerative Biology and Regenerative Medicine 11 Systemic Neural Stem Cell-Based Therapeutic Interventions for Inflammatory CNS Disorders 12 Cell Adhesion Molecules in Neural Stem Cell and Stem Cell-Based Therapy for Neural Disorders 13 Neuroinflammation on the Epigenetics of Neural Stem Cells 14 Primary Neural Stem Cell Cultures from Adult Pig Brain and Their Nerve-Regenerating Properties: Novel Strategies for Cell Therapy
