Immune and Inflammatory Responses in the Nervous System

Zusatztext . . . provides a clear, concise, informative, and most importantly, readable, collection of up-to-date essays on various aspects of inflammation in the CNS. Because of the diversity of the contributor's view points, I think that it would provide a good introduction for those unfamiliar with inflammation or for those unfamiliar with the special problems relating to the nervous system. Zusammenfassung This new edition covers recent advances in understanding immunological and inflammatory responses in the nervous system. This research is driven by the potential to use knowledge of the molecules and mechanisms involved to intervene in, and arrest, neurodegenerative disease processes. Throughout, the emphasis is on the opportunities and ideas for novel treatments.
