About this book

Coedited by internationally recognized leaders in gene therapy research, this guide supplies the most recent advances, studies, and expert opinion on gene therapy for neurological disorders. Spanning conditions such as Parkinsons's and Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, stroke, epilepsy, and brain and spinal cord trauma, this reference presents the basic science and applications of recombinant gene products, immune and stem cell-mediated therapeutic strategies, and brain tumor gene therapy.
