Gene Therapy in Neurodegenerative Disorders - by Vahid Mansouri & Maryam Bemanalizadeh (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Gene Therapy in Neurodegenerative Disorders: From Bench to Bedside offers a comprehensive review of gene therapy modalities and their applications in treating neurodegenerative disorders. This book is designed to provide researchers, clinicians, and students with an in-depth understanding of the principles, advancements, and challenges in the field of gene therapy. The initial chapters focus on the fundamentals of gene therapy strategies, including gene delivery methods and CNS-targeted gene delivery. Subsequent chapters delve into specific neurodegenerative disorders such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD), highlighting the latest gene therapy approaches for each condition. Each chapter provides a detailed introduction to the relevant field before exploring specific tools and applications. With contributions from leading experts, the book addresses the current and ongoing clinical trials, the potential challenges, and the promising advances in gene therapy for neurodegenerative disorders. It also discusses the regulatory and ethical considerations in translating research from bench to bedside. This book is an essential resource for basic science researchers in gene therapy, geneticists, biotechnologists, and clinical researchers seeking new effective treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. It equips readers with the knowledge and tools needed to advance their work and drive innovation in gene therapy.
