Neural transplantation for stroke

J Clin Neurosci. 2002 May;9(3):225-30. doi: 10.1054/jocn.2001.1043.

Abstract

Tremendous achievements in neuroscience over the past three decades have provided a solid foundation for basic and clinical research in neurotransplantation. Restorative neurosurgical procedures will develop from different directions, and it is likely that a combination of approaches will be necessary to maximise patient outcomes. We believe that cerebral infarction and selected neurodegenerative disorders are appropriate initial candidates for this research.
