Astrocytes Pathology in ALS: A Potential Therapeutic Target?

abstract：:Over the last decade, much was learned about the biology of several types of stem and progenitor cells. It has become apparent that various cell sources may have the capacity to promote cardiomyogenesis and new blood vessel formation through different mechanisms, forming the rationale for cell-based therapy in patient...
