Translational Models of Parkinson’s Disease and related Movement Disorders

Translational Models of Parkinson?s Disease and Related Movement Disorders focuses on cutting-edge techniques for creating and validating current Parkinson?s Disease translational experimental models. Various characteristics of these models are examined, including the prion-like properties of -synuclein, mitochondrial functions connected to the PINK1-Parkin pathway/CHCHD2, the endolysosome pathway connected to LRRK2, VPS35, and ATP13A2 using cultured cells (including patient iPS cells). This book also highlights the future possibilities of introducing new models for Parkinson?s Disease and related movements disorders, underscoring current advancements, pre-clinical and clinical developments, and future scope related to numerous models.
