Presenting 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
pathophysiology of neurological diseases. The book is structured to
examine the interactions between glial cells and neurons during
development, adulthood, and senescence, followed by specific
examples of directly mediated glial neurotoxicity. The book also
covers miscellaneous topics in glial physiology/biochemistry such
as signaling and edema. The book includes coverage of advances in
our knowledge and understanding of glial physiology and
biochemistry. Discover what's new in the Second Edition:
Neuronal-glia metabolic interactions Neuronal-glia interactions
(glutamate homeostasis) Zinc transporters in glia Energy
deprivation/mitochondrial dysfunction - unique astrocyte
susceptibilities Astrocytes and MPTP neurotoxicity Astroglia and
food toxins Current understanding of the importance of glia has
caused a boom in published information. Yet while many of the
published textbooks are multifaceted and multidisciplinary, none
includes the role of glia in neurotoxicity. Written by leaders in
the field of glial research, this text fills this missing gap in
the literature. Broader in scope than the first edition, including
contributions from internationally known researchers, this is still
the only book dedicated to exploring the role of glial cells in
mediating neurotoxicology. Features Summarizes the latest research
in glial cell function gleaned from new techniques in imaging and
molecular biology Contains tables and figures that give you quick
and easy access to precise data Includes a contemporary summary of
literature that puts information useful for grant submissions at
your fingertips
