Biomarkers in Brain Disease

Informationen zum Autor Simon Lovestone is Professor of Old Age Psychiatry at the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health; MRC Centre for Neurodegeneration Research; Departments of Psychological Medicine and Neuroscience, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London, UK. Klappentext Advances in biomarker development are revolutionizing the way we study, diagnose and treat disease. However, progress in the development and use of biomarkers for diseases of the central nervous system has been limited by a number of difficulties -- including the inherent barriers associated with studying the brain. Development of reliable biomarkers for brain disorders would dramatically accelerate research on the etiology, pathophysiology, disease progression, and therapeutic development of many very prevalent and devastating diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and others. International experts in the field have contributed chapters to this volume that discuss the latest advances in biomarker technologies and biomarker development for brain disorders, as well as the logistical, regulatory and funding challenges experienced by scientists working on clinical trials for biomarkersNOTE: Annals volumes are available for sale as individual books or as a journal.

Report

"In 12 studies from a January 2009 conference in Oxford, England,researchers from academia and drug companies review recent resultsof biomarker research and applications to brain disorders. The useof biomarkers with brain diseases is challenged by the blood-brainbarrier and by the brain being protected within the skull. Amongthe topics are biomarkers, dementia, and public health; imagingbiomarkers in Alzheimer s disease; identifying several markers ofAlzheimer s disease using quantitative multiplex proteomicimmunoassay panels; biomarkers in Huntington s and Parkinson sdiseases; and trials and tribulation of biomarkers in oncology. Noindex is provided." ( Book News Inc., February 2011)
