Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological
disease of young adults. More than 2.3 million people are affected
by MS worldwide. Symptoms can vary widely, depending on the
localization and amount of the damage induced by combined
inflammatory, demyelinating, and neurodegenerative processes.
Although a cure for MS does not currently exist, therapies can help
treat MS attacks, attenuate disease activity, reduce progress of
the disease, and manage symptoms. Translational Neuroimmunology in
Multiple Sclerosis provides an overview of recent findings and
knowledge of the neuroimmunology of multiple sclerosis, from
experimental models and the human disease to the translation of
this research to immunotherapeutic strategies. Chapters describe
genetic and environmental factors underlying the disease
pathogenesis of MS as a basis for development of immunotherapies,
immunological markers of disease activity, pharmacogenetics, and
responses to therapy. Immunomodulatory therapies currently in
practice and future therapeutic strategies on the horizon-such as
neuroprotective strategies, stem cells, and repair promotion-are
discussed. Contributed by renowned leaders in the field, this
cross-disciplinary volume is a great resource for basic scientists
and clinical practitioners in neuroscience, neurology, immunology,
pharmacology, and in-drug development.
