Opis

This book will be informative and challenging for scientists, enlightening and stimulating for intellectuals and serious students, and highly beneficial and interesting for Alzheimer’s workers and the public. The first half is a historical account of recent scientific discoveries on calcium (Ca2+) storage and control organelles in cells, explaining the major role of secretory granules in the cytoplasm and the newly identified nucleoplasmic Ca2+ store vesicles in the nucleus. The second half not only presents unprecedented and highly relevant information on the pathogenic process of Alzheimer’s disease and current research, but also introduces Alzheimer’s therapeutics, which is ready to proceed to clinical trials. In light of this, it contains valuable information which will greatly benefit Alzheimer’s workers, patients, the families, and anybody interested in Alzheimer’s disease.
