Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's Disease: Methods, Protocols, and Clinical Applications provides a comprehensive, evidence-based exploration of the molecular, cellular, genetic, and clinical foundations of one of the world's most challenging neurodegenerative disorders.

Bridging fundamental neuroscience with translational medicine, this authoritative volume examines the biology of amyloid precursor protein (APP), amyloid-β peptides, tau pathology, presenilin function, neuroinflammation, genetic susceptibility, and emerging therapeutic strategies. The book integrates established laboratory methodologies with modern experimental protocols used to investigate disease mechanisms, biomarker development, and therapeutic targets.

Covering topics ranging from amyloid and tau biochemistry to transgenic animal models, protein phosphorylation, secretase biology, protein aggregation, and advanced cellular and molecular techniques, this text offers practical insights into both experimental design and clinical relevance. Each chapter presents scientifically grounded concepts alongside research applications that support the advancement of Alzheimer's disease investigation and drug discovery.

Designed for neuroscientists, neurologists, physician-scientists, biomedical researchers, graduate students, and healthcare professionals, this book serves as both a methodological reference and a comprehensive guide to contemporary Alzheimer's disease research.
