Protein Misfolding and Disease. Principles and Protocols

Peter and Niels Gregersen (eds.) Bross

A comprehensive review of the latest thinking about the molecular processes underlying conformational diseases, combined with a remarkable set of biochemical, genomic cellular, and chemical laboratory techniques for studying their genesis and pathologies. The authors apply their carefully refined methods to a variety of metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as to the aging process. The techniques presented are broadly applicable in many diverse disease contexts and may be used in both diagnosis and research on new treatment strategies.
