This second edition brings together up-to-date contributions from leaders in the field internationally on the various ways in which mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. The reader is guided through the basic functions of mitochondria and the mechanisms that lead to their dysfunction, and on to the consequences of this dysfunction for neuronal function before finishing with the modelling of these disorders and discussion of new potential therapeutic targets.
Additional chapters have been added to the book to reflect advances in the field and there are many new contributors and topics, including how mitochondria are degraded and the interaction of the mitochondria with pathologically relevant proteins.
Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Disorders provides an accessible, authoritative guide to this important area for neurologists; research and clinical neuroscientists; neuropathologists; and residents with an interest in clinical research.
Amy K. Reeve
Amy did her undergraduate degree in Neuroscience at Edinburgh University before moving to the Mitochondrial Research Group at Newcastle University for her PhD studies. She completed her PhD in the study of the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease in 2007 and now has her own research group within the Wellcome Trust Centre for Mitochondrial Research. Her current research interests centre around understanding the mechanisms behind the neurodegeneration seen in Parkinson's disease, and the contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction to these changes. Funded by Parkinson's UK as a research fellow Amy's interests lie in understanding how changes within mitochondria, mitochondrial transport and the interaction of mitochondrial with alpha-synuclein contributes to the development of Parkinson's disease.
Eve M. Simcox
Eve did her undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science at Newcastle University and continued her studies within the Mitochondrial Research Group for her PhD. She completed her PhD in the study of the turnover and dynamics of mitochondria in neurodegenerative disease in 2014 and now works as the impact officer for the faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering.

Doug M. Turnbull
Professor Turnbull is a clinical academic who leads a basic science research programme in conjunction with developing clinical services. He has three main roles.
Lead for the NHS Highly Specialised Services for Rare Mitochondrial Services for Adults and Children. Professor Turnbull developed this service provides optimum care for patients with mitochondrial disease throughout the UK with Centres in Newcastle, London and Oxford. This service was built on the back of clinical and basic research and the service reviews in excess of 800 patients per year. The service has developed care pathways and patient guidance that are used worldwide of the benefit of patients.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
