In Vitro and In Vivo Models to Study Infections of the Central Nervous System, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This groundbreaking volume dives into the devastating impact of infections on the Central Nervous System (CNS), a major culprit behind neurological disorders in both children and adults. From bacteria and viruses to fungi and parasites, a range of pathogens can breach the body's defenses and wreak havoc on the brain. Packed with cutting-edge research, this book unravels the methods and tools used to study how these microbial invaders penetrate human cell barriers, interact with CNS cell types---especially neurons and microglia---and contribute to lasting brain damage. As part of the acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter provides a clear introduction, essential materials and reagents, step-by-step lab protocols, and expert troubleshooting tips to ensure reproducible results.

Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just stepping into the field, In Vitro and In Vivo Models to Study Infections of the Central Nervous System is your go-to guide for exploring this critical and rapidly evolving area of study.
