Rezensionen

"This is a current comprehensive text of the biochemical mechanisms of gene and protein expression encountered in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, MS, prion disorders, and other degenerative diseases. ... Neurologists, neurophysiologists, biochemists, graduate students, postdocs, and anyone in drug development will find it very useful in their work." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, January, 2016)
