The hippocampus , the Greek word for seahorse, is one of the most fascinating and intriguing regions of the mammalian brain. It is a bilateral incurved seahorse-shaped structure of the cerebral cortex. It is composed of two regions, the dentate gyrus (DG)

The brain has a number of nerve cells estimated at a magnitude of 10 to 100 billion, and 1014 to 1015 synapses, and therefore is the most complex organ of the human body. During fetal development the foundations of the brain are laid as billions of neurons

This book aims at presenting an overview of the current knowledge of cystatins and molecles of the cystatin superfamily, their structure, physio-and pathological function as well as the direction that research is currently aiming for in developing therapeutic treatments based on cysteine proteinases and related molecules. Its purpose is to give the reader a tool that serves as a reference in the field of protease inhibitor, their physio-and pathological functions and therapeutic potential. It also aims at making accessible to a broader audience, that does not have easy access to scientific...

The subject of this book is stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into different lineages of the body. Stem cells carry tremendous potential for the treatment of a broad range of disease and injuries.

Stem cells are the building blocks of the body. They carry a lot of hope for the treatment of a broad range of diseases and injuries, spanning from neurological diseases and injuries, and spinal cord injuries, to diabetes. This title provides an overview a

New nerve cells are generated in the adult brain of mammals, including humans. These new nerve cells originate from cells, referred as neural stem cells. Neural stem cells have the capacity to generate nerve cells and repair the brain. This title features review articles on this topic that went through the peer-review process.

Stem cells are the building blocks of the body. They can develop into any of the cells that make up our bodies. Stem cells carry a lot of hope for the treatment of a broad range of diseases and injuries, spanning from cancers, diabetes, genetic diseases, graft-versus-host disease, eye, heart and liver diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, to neurological diseases and injuries, particularly neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, cerebral strokes, and traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Stem cell research is therefore as important for...

Stem cells carry a lot of hope for the treatment of a broad range of diseases and injuries, spanning from cancers, diabetes, genetic diseases, graft-versus-host disease, eye, heart and liver diseases, inflammatory and auto-immune disorders, to neurological diseases and injuries, particularly neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral strokes, and traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Therefore, stem cell research is as important for our understanding the physio- and pathology of the body, as it is for understanding of development and therapy,...
