Molecular neurodegeneration: basic biology and disease pathways

Molecular neurodegeneration: basic biology and disease pathways



Molecular Neurodegeneration: Basic biology and disease pathways

The field of neurodegeneration research has been advancing rapidly over the past few years, and has provided intriguing new insights into the normal physiological functions and pathogenic roles of a wide range of molecules associated with several devastating neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, Huntington’s disease, and Down syndrome. Recent developments have also facilitated initial efforts to translate preclinical discoveries toward novel therapeutic approaches and clinical trials in humans.
These recent developments are reviewed in this current Article Collection in a number of state-of-the-art manuscripts that cover themes presented at the Third International Conference on “Molecular Neurodegeneration: Basic biology and disease pathways” held in Cannes, France, September, 2013.
