Neural Cell Reprogramming

By Benedikt Berninger

Recent advances in cell biology have allowed researchers tobreakdown the barrier between cell types. This has unlocked thepotential of converting somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells, introducing a valuable new tool to basic science and biomedicalresearchers. Neuroscientists are now rapidly adopting thesetechnologies to better understand neurophysiology and thedevelopment of disease. Neural Cell Reprogrammingprovides a timely overview and synthesis of this work.

Neural Cell Reprogramming opens with chapters thatintroduce the basic concepts of cellular reprogramming and theapplication of these technologies to neuronal cells. Coverage thenexplores advances in the field and the potential application ofreprogramming technologies in fields ranging from basicneuroscience research into drug discovery and the development ofnovel therapeutics. The book closes with a valuable chapterexploring the ethical questions and issues surrounding the use ofreprogrammed cells in research.

A timely and valuable volume, Neural Cell Reprogrammingis an essential book for anyone working in the fields ofneuroscience, stem cell biology, and neurotherapuetics.
