Disease-Modifying Therapies and Targets in Neurodegenerative Disorders examines specific neurodegenerative disorders chapter-by-chapter, each written by experts in the respective fields. Each chapter contains a summary of the disease management field as it stands today and subsequently elaborates on the molecular mechanisms and new promising targets for disease-modifying therapies. This includes targets which are generally believed to hold great promise with a view to therapy, targets in the first stages of preclinical research, as well as therapeutic strategies in a more advanced stage. This overview is ideal for neuroscientists, biomedical researchers, medical doctors, and caregivers, providing readers with a summary of the way patients are treated today, but also offering a glance at the future of neurodegenerative disorder treatment. Provides a comprehensive overview of how key proteins in neurodegenerative disorders can be used as targets to modify disease progress Summarizes how patients are treated today and provides a glance at future disease management Intelligible and informative for non-specialists, medical practitioners and scientists Written and peer reviewed by outstanding scientists in their respective fields
