Regulated Cell Death in Neurodegenerative Disorders is a comprehensive exploration of the mechanisms and implications of RCD within the realm of neurodegenerative diseases. The book delves into various forms of RCD such as apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy-mediated cell death, shedding light on their specific roles in disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Multiple sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington’s. Written by leading experts, each chapter offers unique insights into cellular demise, providing valuable information on treatment options and therapeutic targets. The book features 14 chapters that cover molecular, cellular, and pharmacological mechanisms from an applied science perspective.

Topics include the importance of chaperones, kinases, growth factors, inflammaging, mitochondrial dynamics, and oxidative stress. It presents targeted strategies to prevent cell death, reflecting ongoing pursuits in understanding and innovating treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. By offering therapeutic strategies to modulate RCD, this book not only shares knowledge but also provides hope for future advancements in combating these debilitating conditions.
