There are currently no reparative therapies for severe neurological injury, including brain injury, spinal cord injury and stroke. Actually, most treatments are designed simply to limit secondary damage. However, pre-clinical data supports the idea that exogenous stem and progenitor cells have the potential to promote a reparative response to severe neurological injuries. "Progenitor Cell Therapy for Neurological Injury" is a compilation of seminal essays that explore many unique aspects of neurological injury, focusing on the critical translational issues of cell delivery.
