Overview

This book explores the latest developments in the identification of biomarkers for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases and methodologies for the biophysical; in vitro; cell-based; and in vivo profiling, during the early phases of drug discovery, new hits, leads, and drug candidates directed to a variety of biological targets with key pathogenic roles in neurodegenerative diseases. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Comprehensive and thorough, Methods in Neurodegenerative Disease Drug Discovery offers practical guidance to researchers in the medicinal chemistry community. The methods described in this book can be readily implemented in many laboratories and will aid new and experienced researchers with creating future treatments for these devastating diseases.
