Neurodegenerative Diseases Biomarkers

This volume presents recent data on the latest achievements in new and emerging technologies for biomarkers and for innovations in their assessment. The chapters cover topics such as activation of microglia and macrophages in neurodegenerative diseases; oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases; TSPO PET imaging as a biomarker of neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disorders; and imaging biomarkers in Huntington's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Neurodegenerative Diseases Biomarkers: Towards Translating Research to Clinical Practice is a valuable resource for both experimental and clinical experts in the field of neurodegenerative diseases who are looking to expand their knowledge of novel biomarkers in different types of neurodegenerative diseases.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols
