Neural Cell Biology
Neural Cell Biology by Cheng Wang, published by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group in 2017, is a comprehensive exploration of various aspects of neural cells, spanning 339 pages. This edition delves into the structure and function of neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and Schwann cells, among other cell types, providing a detailed examination of their roles in the central nervous system and beyond.
Readers will find a thorough discussion on topics such as neural stem cells, neurotoxicity, and the blood-brain barrier, as well as insights into neuroplasticity and neurotransmitter functions. The book presents contributions from multiple authors, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives on critical subjects in medical neuroscience and toxicology. This edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the life sciences and cell biology, offering a detailed look at the complexities of neural cell interactions and their implications for health and disease.
