Cytokines and the Brain, Vol 6. NeuroImmune Biology
Description:
This book opens a new page of neuro-immunobiology providing substantive experimental and clinical data
to support current understanding in the field, and potential applications of this knowledge in the treatment
of disease. The volume is a collection of complex, new data drawn from multiple areas of investigation in the
field. The contents summarize current understanding on the presence and function of CNS cytokines and
their receptors in a variety of CNS cells during health and disease. The chapters are a collection of complex,
new data demonstrating the presence and synthesis of cytokines in brain cells, as well as their receptors on
cell membranes in health and disease. The strength of the volume are the descriptions of the authors own
investigations, together with those of others in the field pertaining to a large number of cytokines in brain
function, as well as mechanisms involved in the development of CNS disorders, including multiple sclerosis
and Alzheimer's disease. Also included are novel approaches to the treatment of CNS disorders based on
new experimental data. The contributors to this volume are internationally known scientists and clinical
researchers in their respective fields of investigation and treatment.
Opens a new page of neuro-immunobiology and provides substantive evidence for the promise of this field
in the treatment of disease
Summarizes current understanding on the presence and function of central nervous system (CNS) cytokines
and their receptors in a variety of CNS cells during health and disease
Includes novel approaches to the treatment of CNS disorders based on new experimental data
Offers new insight into triggers for the development of autoimmune diseases in the brain and the
possibilities for treatment
