Brain Disease: therapeutic strategies and repair
Oded Abramsky, D. Alastair S. Compston, Ariel Miller, Gerard Said
In this volume, leading scientists review new findings on how the central nervous system (CNS) responds to injury. Brain Disease addresses the mechanisms of CNS disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, stroke and traumatic brain injury. Attention is focused on the role of genetic and environmental factors, pathophysiology of immune-mediated brain injury, blood-brain barrier eruption and brain edema, apoptotic mechanisms and the matrix metalloproteinases. Other topics include repair mechanisms, gene therapy and the use of stem cells for CNS remyelination. The text is essential for practicing neurologists, neurosurgeons, geriatricians and students in those fields.
