This practical volume examines a number of topics that explore the current status of immunotherapy and diagnostic markers for neurodegenerative disorders. With a focus on Alzheimer's disease, the first sections of the book examine immunotherapeutic approaches for the aforementioned disease as well as for Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, amongst others. The last section of the book covers the importance of biomarker techniques to catch these diseases early enough for the treatments to be most useful. Written for the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology series, this book contains the kind of detailed descriptions and implementation advice that will offer a smooth transition into the lab. Authoritative and useful, Immunotherapy and Biomarkers in Neurodegenerative Disorders aims to aid in the continued progress in the development of novel immune-based drugs and diagnostic tools for these devastating brain diseases.

This book will compile a collection of chapters dedicated to varied aspects of PPPM in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. Among the topics to be covered are: Recent advances in ALS research News about Clinical aspects and advanced therapy approaches in personalized treatment of ALS Schizophrenia: New treatments and clinical aspects Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine in aging macular degeneration Advances in Multiple Sclerosis Pharmacogenetics, Tailoring Treatment Efficacy, Safety and Regimen Selection Multiple sclerosis related biomarkers: perspectives for clinical application Preventive clinical trials in brain aging: new trends & the need of guidelines MCI_ clinical guidelines in early diagnosis of dementia Alzheimer's disease: diagnostics, prognostics and the road to prevention Biomarkers for early diagnosis of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases Synucleinopathies, tauopathies, TDP-43 proteinopathies and amyloidosis PSP, MSA and other parkinsonisms

Neurodegeneration is a key feature of several diseases that are referred to as neurodegenerative diseases. The process of neurodegeneration is not well-understood so the diseases that stem from it have, as yet, no cures. As such, studying the effects of these disorders can provide insight into the treatment, prevention, and future opportunities and challenges in this growing field. The Handbook of Research on Critical Examinations of Neurodegenerative Disorders is a critical scholarly resource that provides an extensive explanation of various neurodegenerative disorders based on existing studies to clarify etiology, pathological mechanisms, diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, as well as current status and future opportunities and challenges. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as dementia, mitochondrial dysfunction, and risk factors, this book is geared towards neurobiologists, neuropsychologists, neurophysiologists, neuropathologists, medical professionals, academicians, and researchers seeking research on the complexity of neurodegenerative disorders.

This Edited Volume Recent Advances in Neurodegeneration is a is a collection of reviewed and relevant research chapters, offering a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the field of neurodegeneration. The book comprises single chapters authored by various researchers and edited by an expert active in the neurodegeneration research area. All chapters are complete in itself but united under a common research study topic. This publication aims at providing a thorough overview of the latest research efforts by international authors on neurodegeneration, and open new possible research paths for further novel developments.

Provides a timely overview of critical advances in molecular and cellular neurobiology, covers key methodologies driving progress, and highlights key future directions for research on neuronal injury and neurodegeneration relevant to neuronal brain pathologies. The editors bring together contributions from internationally recognized workers in the field to provide an up to date account of how and why molecular and cellular neurobiology is such an important area for clinical neuroscience. Understanding the molecular aspects of a number of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease for the purpose of improving patient management remains a major challenge of neurobiology be it from the basic or clinical perspective. A strategic evaluation of research contributions and the power of modern methods will help advance knowledge over the next years.
