Book Description
Glial cell function and development has become a major focus of research in the neurosciences. Distinct glial progenitors have been identified, key glial genes have been cloned, and the growth factor regulation of glial survival, proliferation, and function is being unraveled. As a result, it
will soon be possible to understand at the molecular level some vital functions, such as myelination and regulation of axon growth and repair. In this book, leading researchers review the current state of knowledge of all classes of glia and describe how this knowledge is being applied to the
treatment of human disease. It is a valuable reference book for all researchers in developmental biology and neuroscience.
