Wegrzyn Renee D., Rudolph Alan S. (eds.) Alzheimer's Disease: Targets for New Clinical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies

CRC Press, 2012. — 301 p. — ISBN: 9781439827086.In recent years, a tremendous amount of effort has been focused on better understanding the fundamentals of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis and appropriately targeted therapeutic treatments. Alzheimer’s Disease: Targets for New Clinical, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic Strategies provides a detailed synopsis of the current state of the art of diagnostics and therapeutics and identifies emerging technologies and molecules that show promise in the management and treatment of AD.Examining current hypotheses and suggesting possible new approaches to therapeutic clinical applications, this volume paves the way for a robust pipeline of therapeutics to combat not only AD, but a whole host of other neurodegenerative diseases.The Amyloid β-Protein and Alzheimer’s Disease
