内容简介
This book pro vides a comprehensive overview of the role of neuroglia in neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroglia are the most abundant cells in the nervous system and consist of several distinct cell types, such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes,and microglia. Accumulating evidence suggests that neuroglia participate in the neurodegenerative process, and as such are essential player s in a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s.
Intended for researchers and students, the book presents recent advances concerning the biology of neuroglia as well as their inter action with neurons during disease progression. In addition, to high light the function of neuroglia in different types of neurodegenerative disease, it also discusses their mechanisms and effects on protecting or damaging neurons.
