World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Neural Stem Cells In Health And Disease
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive guide on neural stem cell behavior in health and disease. The book confers the altered behavior of endogenous neural stem cells in neurodegenerative disease conditions and the prospects of neural stem cell therapy for alleviating brain dysfunction in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders.Neural stem cell activity and neurogenesis in the adult brain is now confirmed in virtually all mammalian species including humans. Hence, a series of chapters in the first half of the book discusses the current knowledge on mechanisms of neural stem cell activity, the extent and functional significance of neurogenesis in the adult brain under normal, aged and disease environments, the susceptibility of neural stem cells and the plasticity of neurogenesis to alcohol, drugs of abuse and anesthetic agents, and advanced techniques that trigger neurogenesis in non-neurogenic regions.A second series of chapters in this book are focused on discussing the promise and efficacy of grafting of neural stem cells and/or other stem cells for treating neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, temporal lobe epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and spinal cord injury. The final chapter confers on advances that are made in manufacturing a variety of neural cell types from human pluripotent stem cells that can be used as donor cells for cell transplantation.Table of ContentsNeural Stem Cells - Introduction; Neural Stem Cell Functions in the Adult Hippocampus; Neural Stem Cell Behavior in the Subventricular Zone of the Forebrain; Neural Stem Cells and Age-Related Neurodegeneration; Neural Stem Cell Response to Traumatic Brain Injury; Neural Stem Cell Behavior and Neurogenesis in Epilepsy; Neural Stem Cell Dysfunction after Cancer Therapy; Neural Stem Cell Behavior in Alzheimer's Disease; Neural Stem Cells and Alcohol Use Disorders; Neural Stem Cell Behavior in Addiction; Vulnerability of Neural Stem Cells to Anaesthetic Agents; Induction of Neurogenesis from Astrocytes in Non-Neurogenic Regions of the Brain; Prospects of Neural Stem Cell Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease; Lab to Clinic Translation of Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke; Neural Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson's Disease; Advances in Stem Cell Therapy for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy; Neural Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury; Generating the Right Neural Cell Types from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Screening/Cell Therapy for CNS Disorders;

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Planning Your Research And How To Write It
Book SynopsisThis book is a practical guide for residents and young researchers who are planning to embark on research. It details the significant planning one must first do including choosing a suitable experienced clinician as a supervisor, sourcing for a 'winning idea' with significant clinical impact, performing a proper review of literature, defining clearly the objectives to be set and adopting the appropriate methodology. Statistical evaluation must be done from the start of the research to define adequate sample size and also for evaluation of the results. It also advises how one should draw upon relevant and appropriate conclusions from the results obtained.The ethics of research is also discussed. An all-important factor in research is the procurement of research grants. Readers are guided how to write a proper research proposal to secure these much needed grants.Many research papers end up as presentations only in local or international conferences. An important additional objective of this book is to guide young researchers how to write their finished product — as a publication in an important international, refereed journal or as a thesis. Chapters have been specially written with tips for scientific writing, selecting the right journal, writing for an original article for a journal, a review article, a case report as well as for a thesis. Tips are also written on what reviewers of a journal look for in an article as well as what examiners look for in a thesis.Table of ContentsLessons from Research: A Personal Experience; Planning Research; Procuring Research Grants; Types of Research; Clinical Research; Choice of Experimental Animals; Cadaveric Research; Ethics for Research; Statistics for Clinical Research; Tips for Scientific Writing; Selecting the Right Journal; How to Write an Original Research Article for a Journal; Uncovering the Review Article; Writing a Case Report; Writing a Thesis and Plagiarism;
