Springer - Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy in Alzheimer's Disease

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) represents a distinct abnormality of the small blood vessels in the brain. This specialized text from Springer provides a comprehensive look at this phenomenon through a multifaceted lens. It addresses the clinical manifestations of CAA and explores modern methods used to image the condition. Readers will examine the biochemical and cellular events occurring within cerebral vessel walls that lead to the development of CAA. The book also investigates how researchers use in vitro and transgenic experimental systems to study the etiology of the disorder and explore potential treatment paths. This work is an essential resource for those studying the relationship between CAA, Alzheimer's disease, and related neurological disorders.
