The Role of Glia in Neurotoxicity by Michael Aschner, Lucio G... - 9780367393380

CRC Press

Presenting the latest research in glial cell function gleaned from new techniques in imaging and molecular biology, this second edition covers multiple aspects of glial cells, including morphology, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, pathology, and their involvement in the pathophysiology of neurological diseases. The book examines the interactions between glial cells and neurons during development, adulthood, and senescence, followed by specific examples of directly mediated glial neurotoxicity. It includes coverage of miscellaneous topics in glial physiology/biochemistry and advances in current knowledge and understanding of glial physiology and biochemistry. > \nPresenting the latest research in glial cell function gleaned from new techniques in imaging and molecular biology, The Role of Glia in Neurotoxicity, Second Edition covers multiple aspects of glial cells, including morphology, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, pathology, and their involvement in the pathophysa
