Abstract

In many fields of modern medicine and medically oriented biology the growing interest in stem cells has fundamentally changed the perception of what is therapeutically possible. In principle, stem cell biology has introduced cellular replacement strategies even to fields where classical organ transplantation, such as heart and kidney, was impossible — most notably neurobiology (Gage 2000).
