Springer Peroxisome Biology - Experimental Models & Neurological Diseases

Peroxisome Biology provides a comprehensive exploration of peroxisomal structure, biochemistry, and function, bridging fundamental research with clinical applications. This volume examines the biogenesis and metabolic functions of peroxisomes, including their critical roles in oxidative stress regulation and lipid metabolism, particularly fatty acid oxidation. The book addresses molecular and clinical aspects of peroxisomal disorders stemming from defects in peroxisomal function, with detailed focus on peroxisomal biogenesis disorders and their neurological consequences. Designed for researchers, clinicians, and medical professionals working in neurology and internal medicine, this Springer publication synthesises experimental models and disease mechanisms to illuminate how peroxisomal dysfunction contributes to neurodegenerative conditions. Essential reading for understanding the intersection of peroxisomal biology and neurological disease pathophysiology.
