Systems Biology of Parkinson's Disease 2012th Edition

From the reviews:

“This book is based on the fascinating concept of applying systems biology … to understand how things work and apply this approach to the study of Parkinson’s disease. … The book is intended for Parkinson’s disease specialists and researchers, and it is best suited for researchers. It is well written by credible authorities in the field. … The book accomplishes its main goals without question. This is a novel approach to an important clinical condition.” (Joseph I. Sirven, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2012)

This text is the first to present a study of Parkinson’s disease from a Systems Biology perspective. By placing the condition at centre stage, the authors have been able to provide a wide ranging modelling and systems analysis that is focussed on a multi-facetted and highly complex condition. The book comprises a specially selected set of eight studies of important aspects of PD, covering all relevant scales of space and time. These are used to show how innovative sensing techniques, mathematical modelling, model analysis and computational simulation can throw new light on the dynamics of disease mechanisms that drive this important form of neurodegeneration.
