Isolation, characterization, and utilization of CNS stem cells

In trying to understand postnatal neurogenesis, analogies have been made to the stem cells of other parts of the body, yet the unique properties and requirements of each organ make these analogies less than exact. Thus knowledge of the unique properties of nervous system stem cell biology will provide these needed definitions. This volume is based on a meeting of the Foundation Ipsen held in Paris to address these issues of nervous system stem cell biology.
