Publisher's Synopsis
"Molecular Mechanisms in Brain Regeneration" written by Abhipradnya Bipin is an essential resource for researchers and clinicians interested in the field of neuroregeneration. The book covers the various molecular mechanisms involved in the process of brain regeneration, with a focus on the role of neural stem cells, neurotrophic factors, and extracellular matrix in facilitating regeneration.
The book delves into the complex mechanisms of axon growth, myelin formation, synaptic plasticity, and inflammation, and discusses the vital role of glial cells in brain regeneration. The author also explores the crucial impact of epigenetic modifications on neuronal migration, differentiation, and proliferation, as well as on the survival or apoptosis of cells. The book further covers the critical signaling pathways that are essential for neurogenesis and the roles of oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, astrocytes, and microglia in the process of brain regeneration. It also discusses the challenges that arise from the blood-brain barrier in facilitating regeneration. The book also focuses on the potential of neuroregenerative therapies for treating neurological disorders, such as traumatic injury, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases, epilepsy, and neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and addiction. The author also discusses the potential of gene therapy and biomaterials in promoting brain regeneration. Overall, "Molecular Mechanisms in Brain Regeneration" provides a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the complex processes involved in brain regeneration, highlighting the promising potential for new therapies to treat a wide range of neurological disorders.
