Download or read book Systems Biology of Alzheimer s Disease written by Juan I. Castrillo and published by Humana. This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and many other neurodegenerative disorders are multifactorial in nature, involving a combination of genomic, epigenomic, network dynamic and environmental factors. A proper investigation requires new integrative Systems Biology approaches, at both the experimental and computational level. The interplay of disease mechanisms and homeostatic networks will underlie the time of onset and rate of progression of the disease. This book addresses such an integrated approach to AD. It aims to present Systems Biology, including both experimental and computational approaches, as a new strategy for the study of AD and other multifactorial diseases, with the hope that the results will translate into more effective diagnosis and treatment, as well as improved public health policies. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, practical and cutting-edge, Systems Biology of Alzheimer’s Disease is intended for post-graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and experts in different fields with an interest in comprehensive Systems Biology strategies applicable to AD and other complex multifactorial diseases (including other neurodegenerative diseases and cancers). This book aims to complement other excellent volumes and monographs on AD that cover fundamental, physiological or medical aspects of the disease.

Download or read book A Systems Biology Roadmap to Understanding Late onset Neurodegenerative Disease written by Anthony Patrick Milani and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The endolysosomal system has recently come under heavy scrutiny as a potentially major contributor to the progression of late-onset neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, I highlight our current understanding of the endolysosomal system, and the Rab GTPase cascade regulating significant portions of its normal progression. Dysfunction in this cascade potentially accounts for many well-documented cellular phenotypes pertaining to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease. Despite extensive study, many of the molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of late-onset neurodegenerative diseases remain elusive. The use of systems biology approaches appears to be the most promising route forward for understanding the etiologies of the systemic disorder observed in these diseases, which are likely to be highly variable between individuals.
Download or read book Biology of Brain Disorders written by Daniela Tropea and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brain disorders, including neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions, represent a challenge for public health systems and society at large. The limited knowledge of their biology hampers the development of diagnostic tools and effective therapeutics. A clear understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the onset and progression of brain disorders is required in order to identify new avenues for therapeutic intervention. Overlapping genetic risk factors across different brain disorders suggest common linkages and pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie brain disorders. Methodological and technological advances are leading to new insights that go beyond traditional hypotheses. Taking account of underlying molecular, cellular and systems biology underlying brain function will play an important role in the classification of brain disorders in future. In this Research Topic, the latest advances in our understanding of biological mechanisms across different brain disorders are presented. The areas covered include developments in neurogenetics, epigenetics, plasticity, glial cell biology, neuroimmune interactions and new technologies associated with the study of brain function. Examples of how understanding of biological mechanisms are translating into research strategies that aim to advance diagnoses and treatment of brain disorders are discussed.

Book excerpt: Biology is shifting from its data-poor origins to a quantitative data, high-throughput regime. Accompanying this change is an increasing technical capacity to engineer biological constructs. This book is about theory in this new context for the Life Sciences. Three articles, each preceded by an explanatory introduction, are presented. They propose: * A framework for prediction in this new data-rich regime. * A theory on the systemic nature and hematopoietic origin of Parkinson's Disease. * An approach to engineering design in the biological context, in particular in Synthetic Biology.
Download or read book Biology of Cognitive Aging Model Systems Technologies and beyond written by Shin Murakami and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome! We, humans, tend to experience forgetfulness when we get old. The forgetfulness may become more serious memory impairment, dementia. Presumably, we have known it for a long time, but we still do not know the mechanism behind. A normal part of forgetfulness is called age-related memory impairment (AMI), which is considered the first step towards mild cognitive impairment (MCI; transition state) and dementia (disease state). The majority of dementia is attributable to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Progression to dementia occurs at a high rate in patients with AMI. This eBook covers exciting but yet challenging field of cognitive aging. AMI is specific to neural tissues of the brain and is considered to be segmental aging. It happens not only to humans but also to a variety of species. Learning and memory are vulnerable to aging in a wide variety of model species, including worms, fruit flies, insects, snails, fishes, and rodents. Aging specifically reduces the ability to learn new information but leaves “old” memories and procedural memory intact. A comparative approach including the use of model systems seems to facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanisms that lead to AMI and AD. We advocate research on model systems. This eBook also provides the first manuscript co-authored with an AD patient to create a feedback loop from patients incorporated into research. We also included a manuscript on the semi-automated system that was inspired by such a feedback. Those may place a nice flavor to this exciting series of comparative research on cognitive aging. We hope you enjoy this eBook. Warm regards, Shin Murakami, Ph.D.
