Protein chaperones and protection from neurodegenerative diseases

The intersection of molecular chaperones and neurodegeneration is an intensely studied area because of the potential of manipulating the expression of molecular chaperones to thwart the progression of debilitating diseases. Encompassing contributions from leading experts, Molecular Chaperones and Protection from Neurodegenerative Proteopathies provides an in-depth examination of how protein chaperones are involved in protecting cells from toxic aggregated or misfolded protein states responsible for such diseases as Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases. Addressing the subject from both research and clinical perspectives, the book will appeal to scientists working in these areas of research.
