New book: Advances in using stem cells to treat neural diseases

A/Prof Raymond Wong has co-edited the book 'Advances in using stem cells to treat neural diseases' published by Springer Nature (in press). The book includes a collection of chapters curated by leading experts from Australia, Japan, Sweden, Lithuania, China, Denmark, Germany and Hong Kong. The book provides a timely overview of the dynamic and evolving field of stem cell research in neural regeneration and in-depth discussion of up-and-coming disruptive technologies from interdisciplinary research.

A/Prof Wong's team has contributed to the following sections:

• Urrutia-Cabrera D, Wang L, Wong R (2025) Cellular reprogramming to stimulate retina regeneration.

• Wong R, Hayashi Y (2025) Editorial: Advances in stem cell and regenerative approaches to study and treat neural diseases.

About this book
