Protein Misfolding Diseases

Current and Emerging Principles and Therapies
Herausgegeben von Ramirez-Alvarado, Marina

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An increasingly aging population will add to the number of individuals suffering from amyloid. Protein Misfolding Diseases provides a systematic overview of the current and emerging therapies for these types of protein misfolding diseases, including Alzheimer s, Parkinson s, and Mad Cow. The book emphasizes therapeutics in an amyloid disease context to help students, faculty, scientific researchers, and doctors working with protein misfolding diseases bridge the gap between basic science and pharmaceutical applications to protein misfolding disease.
