The Molecular Immunology of Neurological Diseases: A Comprehensive Review

Authored by Sunil Kumar, this book provides a detailed review of the current updates in molecular immunogenetics of different neurological diseases. It delves into the role of immune cells and their modulation strategies, aiming to aid in the development of therapeutic approaches for both acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders.

Unlike other books on the topic, “The Molecular Immunology of Neurological Diseases” offers a unique perspective on the immune response in the brain, challenging the long-held belief that the brain is an immune-privileged organ with limited immune response. Recent studies have shown that both systemic and peripheral immune cell responses play crucial roles in determining brain pathology in neurodegenerative disorders.

This book summarizes the activation of immune cells in the central nervous system microenvironment in acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, it discusses the key role of immune cells and their modulation strategies for the development of current therapeutic approaches.

Key Topics Covered

• Molecular immunogenetics of different neurological diseases
• Strategies for the development of therapeutic approaches
• Acute and chronic neurogenerative disorders
• Molecular pathogenesis of viral genes in various diseases
• Chapters on migraine, muscular dystrophy, and cancer

“The Molecular Immunology of Neurological Diseases” is an essential read for researchers, scientists, and medical professionals interested in understanding the complex interplay between the immune system and neurological disorders. It offers valuable insights into the potential therapeutic strategies that could revolutionize the treatment of these diseases.

Published by Elsevier Science in February 2021, this book is available in English and features comprehensive chapters that delve into the intricacies of molecular immunology and its implications for neurological diseases.
