Riassunto

Multiple Sclerosis: A Mechanistic View provides a unique view of the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and related disorders. As the only book on the market to focus on the mechanisms of MS rather than focusing on the clinical features and treatment of the disease, it describes the role of genetic and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of MS, the role of specific cells in the pathophysiology of the disease, and the pathophysiology of inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders related to MS.

The book provides discussion of neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration, two critical emerging areas of research, as well as detailed discussion of the mechanisms of action of the approved and investigational drugs for treatment of MS and the emerging role of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRI) in investigations into MS.

It is the only book on the market to offer comprehensive coverage of the known mechanisms of MS and related diseases, and contains contributions from physicians and researchers who are worldwide experts in the field of study.

• Focuses on the pathophysiologic mechanisms of multiple sclerosis and the mechanisms of action in agents for the treatment of MS
• Discusses the roles of neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration in MS and related diseases
• Authored and edited by international leaders in the field of MS research

Multiple Sclerosis is the only book on the market to offer comprehensive coverage of the known mechanisms of MS and related diseases. With contributions from physicians and researchers who are worldwide experts in MS, Multiple Sclerosis is an invaluable resource for neurologists, neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, and others who need an in-depth understanding of pathophysiology of this disease and its related disorders.
