This book provides a cutting-edge review of polyglutamine disorders. It primarily focuses on two main aspects: (1) the mechanisms underlying the pathologies’ development and progression, and (2) the therapeutic strategies that are currently being explored to stop or delay disease progression. Polyglutamine (polyQ) disorders are a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases with a fatal outcome that are caused by an abnormal expansion of a coding trinucleotide repeat (CAG), which is then translated in an abnormal protein with an elongated glutamine tract (Q). To date, nine polyQ disorders have been identified and described: dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA); Huntington’s dise...
"(...)Neste contexto, a obra já nasce atual e relevante, pois é preciso verificar, rectius, investigar como as corporações privadas e os organismos públicos estão lidando com estes desafios na sua gestão interna e nas suas relações com seus investidores/administrados. Como elaborar, executar e fiscalizar programas de integridade em organizações complexas, de modo que todos os executivos e empregados (do menor ao maior nível) estejam a eles sujeitos e possam por ele ser punidos, se necessário. A primeira parte da obra, de cunho teórico, reúne 14 (catorze) artigos sobre as mais diversas áreas do conhecimento em que o tema transita, não apenas na ciência jurídica, mas também...
A superb source of reference reviews as well as a concise overview of the functional cross-talk between neurons and glial cells, this book also focuses on microglia and inflammation in the aging brain and in neurological disorders. The scientific spectrum covered by this book is of key interest, and is recognized by the scientific community as a major competitive area with critical implications for human health.
