Description for Gene Therapy for Neurological Disorders and Brain Tumors
Hardback. This work is a reference for neuroscientists, neurologists and neurosurgeons ultilizing gene therapy to treat and cure neurological disorders. Sections include an update of the vector systems available for gene transfer and overviews of the application of gene therapy in neurological oncology. Series: Contemporary Neuroscience. Num Pages: 458 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL; MJN; PSAK; PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 28. Weight in Grams: 1188.
Leading gene therapy researchers and clinicians illuminate the field-from basic vector technology to current and future clinical applications in neurology. The authoritative contributors provide cutting-edge reviews of the vectors available for gene transfer to the central nervous system, the strategies against CNS tumors, the potential strategies against neurologic disorder, and the limitations of today's gene therapy approaches. Also discussed are significant applications of gene therapy to brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, ischemia, and Huntington's chorea. Readers will learn the current delivery methods for transgenes, will learn the characteristics of transgene delivery vectors, and come to understand the therapy for ... Read more
