In Vitro and In Vivo Models to Study Infections of the Central Nervous System

190 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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.
