Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegenerative diseases are caused by progressive loss of structure and/or function of neurons. The lack of efficient therapies for neurodegenerative disorders leads to a significant burden on society and a high economic impact. Over the past 20 years, stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
This Special Issue of Brain Sciences aims to present a collection of studies detailing the most recent progress of stem cell treatments in neurodegenerative diseases. Authors are invited to submit research articles including experimental and clinical studies and reviews that address a broad range of topics related to cell therapy in neurodegenerative disorders.
