Pharmacological Mechanisms in Alzheimer's Therapeutics

This book will be of value to a wide audience interested in cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease and on the multiple, possible, therapeutic opportunities ahead of us. The field of research is enormous and therefore therapeutic targets that have been selected for this volume seem the most hopeful and for which there is a solid rationale. There are a number of emerging therapeutic targets, such as the inactivation/removal of Aß peptides, amongst others, which might have potential applications if specific leading compounds were to be identified.
