ForNeuroCell (bay. Forschungsverbund)

The research network ForNeuroCell aims to develop a regenerative cell replacement therapy for acute and chronic diseases of the nervous system on the basis of adult stem cells and take it towards clinical implementation. During the past years, it has become increasingly evident that next to neuroprotection, meaning the strategy of protecting damaged cells from dying off, the regenerative cell replacement therapy is the treatment approach with the greatest potential for the most and the most common afflictions of the brain (trauma, apoplexy, neurodegenerative diseases).
