Human Neural Stem Cells: Translational Research for Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury

Jeong Eun Shin, Jungho Han, Joo Hee Lim, Ho Seon Eun, Kook In Park

Neonatal Med. 2019;26(1):1-16.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury is a major cause of neonatal mortality and long-term neurodevelopmental disabilities.
