Symposium Title:
Promising approaches in reconstruction of brain damage
Organizer:
Dóra Zelena (Pécs University, Pécs, Hungary)
Short summary:
Brain damages both after stroke, injuries or due to neurodegeneration lead to serious health problems and several attempts has been made to reconstruct the nervous system. A wide range of molecules play essential role in the process. Understanding the specularities requires preclinical models, among which those based on human induced pluripotent stem cell are very popular. Our symposium tries to introduce promising approaches for studying and reconstruct the brain damages. These studies may provide insights into the pathomechanism and may lead to improvement of therapeutic strategies for neural repair and recovery.
