Publisher's Synopsis
These proceedings focus particularly on topical areas such as the biochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and molecular pathology of amyloid deposition in the brain; the proteolytic enzymes involved in this process, and the possible role of growth factors and immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Many new and exciting findings are presented, and the book truly represents the current "Frontiers of Alzheimer Research". The volume is a valuable source of information for established researchers, and an inspiration to others to become involved in this fast-moving and exciting field.
