Autophagy Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia

Editat de Tadanori Hamano, Tatsuro Mutoh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2022
Autophagy Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia provides an overview for researchers and clinicians on the mechanisms involved in protein degradation in Alzheimer’s. The book discusses the implication of autophagy dysfunction in these diseases and how it causes degenerated proteins, including aggregated tau and aggregated amyloid protein. Other sections explores the possibilities of potential drug development through autophagy modulation, making this a great resource on the study of how autophagy dysfunction has been linked to the accumulation of misfolded proteins that cause death of neurons in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Discusses the implication of autophagy dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases
  • Highlights the mechanisms involved in protein degradation
  • Explores the possibilities of drug development through autophagy modulation

Recenzii

" This book edited by Professors Hamano and Mutoh covers every important aspect of the cutting-edge neurosciences of autophagy in AD and other dementing disorders, including the degradation mechanism of misfolded proteins, A degradation mechanisms by autophagy and endocytosis, degradation mechanisms of tau by autophagy, impairment of mitophagy by A and tau accumulation, propagation of tau by autophagy dysfunction, pathological feature of autophagy, autophagy disturbances in inclusion body myositis and Danon disease, and autophagy defects in other diseases causing dementia, synucleinopathy and Huntington's disease. Perspectives on novel therapeutic strategies for AD, PD, or DLB by modulating autophagy also are widely discussed. I believe this comprehensive monograph on the role of autophagy in neurodegeneration will pave the way toward deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative dementia and development of novel therapeutic methods to defeat AD and other dementias." --Takeshi Iwatsubo, MD, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Neuropathology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo
