Neurobiology of Huntington’s Disease: Applications to Drug Discovery (Frontiers in Neuroscience)

Highlighting advances in the discovery and development of new drug therapies for neurodegenerative disorders, Neurobiology of Huntington's Disease focuses on the many aspects of the research on drugs to treat Huntington's disease. It discusses genetics, genomics, and proteomics, and the latest in high-throughput and high-content screening. The authors provide introductory background as well as highly sophisticated information on current and future directions of research. Exploring the interplay between academic and industrial research, the investment community, and non-profit contributors, the book also examines the practical realities of preclinical testing, clinical testing strategies, and, ultimately, clinical usage.
