An increasingly aging population will add to the number of individuals suffering from amyloid. Protein Misfolding Diseases provides a systematic overview of the current and emerging therapies for these types of protein misfolding diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Mad Cow. The book emphasizes therapeutics in an amyloid disease context to help students, faculty, scientific researchers, and doctors working with protein misfolding diseases bridge the gap between basic science and pharmaceutical applications to protein misfolding disease.
“The book is very well organized and clearly written, and contains a large number of nice figures and illustrations, some in color, which certainly help to simplify the complex thematic material. The contributions provide a sufficient body of background information, are concisely written, and contain many references, which make them valuable bibliographic sources.” (Angewandte Chemie, December 2010)
"In this valuable contribution to the understanding of protein- deposition diseases, Ramirez-Alvarado (biochemistry and molecular biology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine) and international contributors to 45 chapters present an integrated approach to the process and consequences of protein aggregation."
