Glial cell development : basic principles and clinical relevance

This is a new edition in the Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology Series. The study of glial cell function and development is a major area of research activity in the neurosciences, and these avenues appear to hold the key to understanding, at the molecular level, processes such as myelination and the regulation of axon growth and repair. Clarification of these processes has significant implications for understanding neurological diseases.
