"From the reviews of the second edition: ""Neural stem cells have been the focus of much research in an attempt to better understand the nature and behavior of these cells in vivo. … The purpose is to clarify research protocols in the investigation of neural stem cells. These worthy objectives are met. Neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neurosciences are the main audience. … This is a valuable acquisition for academic neuroscience, neurology, and neurosurgery libraries."" (Celso Agner, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008) ""Neural Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive overview on cutting-edge methods for scientists working on questions related to neural stem-cell biology. … The volume outlines methods and protocols that allow investigating mechanisms, which regulate self-renewal, cell survival and differentiation of NSCs. A better understanding of these processes is of great importance for future successful applications of NSCs in neurodegenerative diseases and injuries."" (S. Atanasoski, Schweizer Archiv für Neurologie und Psychiatrie, April, 2009)"
