Neural transplantation: potential therapy for Alzheimer's disease.
Significant progress has been made over the past decade in utilizing the techniques of neural transplantation to promote regeneration and recovery of function in the mammalian brain. The present paper reviews recent advances in our understanding of the properties and mechanisms of action of neural transplants and discusses how these advances might be applied to designing therapeutic approaches for treating Alzheimer's disease.
