Advancing Neuroscience: From Stem Cells to Neurodegenerative Disease

As the world population ages, in part due to the development of treatments and cures for many previously fatal diseases, the incidence of neurodegenerative disorders - particularly those related to old age - is bound to increase.  One promising avenue of therapy getting much press involves the use of multipotent or pluripotent stem cells.
In this booklet we bring together a number of recently published Science papers bridging these two topics, neurodegeneration and stem cell therapy, to present the reader with a timely and practical collection.
