Protein Misfolding Diseases - Current and Emerging Principles and Therapies (Electronic book text, 1st edition)

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.
