Mechanisms of Disease Pathogenesis in Multiple Sclerosis

Mechanisms of Disease Pathogenesis in Multiple Sclerosis

summarizes our current understanding on MS and its clinical features and monitoring with available biomarkers, focusing on mechanisms that drive disease pathogenesis and their control by genetic, environmental factors and novel therapies for disease management.

The book is written for neurologists, neuroimmunologists and clinical, translational and basic researchers interested in mechanisms of neurodegeneration.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease which targets the central nervous system (CNS).

It is the most common cause of non-traumatic neurological disability in young adults with a prevalence of 1 in 1000 and increasing, hence the importance of this book.
