Endothelial Cell Plasticity in the Normal and Injured Central Nervous System (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Herrera, Esperanza Melendez; Ospina, Gabriel Gutierrez; Phillips-Farfan, Bryan V.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Highlighting the importance of endothelial cells as key players in the functioning of the nervous system under both normal and pathological conditions, this book reviews the newest findings in this exciting new area of investigation. The contributors demonstrate that endothelial cells are an essential and dynamic cell population in the central nervous system, with multiple and complex roles, not only in the maintenance of homeostasis, but also in the regulation of important processes. Topics discussed include neurogenesis, neural control of reproduction, aging, neurodegeneration, and tumor invasion.
