Descripción

Aggregates of the TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43), are hallmark features of the neurodegenerative diseases Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), with overlapping clinical, genetic and pathological features. TDP-43 and Neurodegeneration: From Bench to Bedside summarizes new findings in TDP-43 pathobiology and proteinopathies. The book summarizes TDP-43’s structure, function, biology, misfolding, aggregation, pathogenesis and therapeutics. It includes autophagy-mediated therapy, role of stress granule, novel genetic, cell culture-based models, systems biology for precision medicine, development of stem cells and mechanism-based therapies that can target ALS and other related neurodegenerative diseases. This book is written for neuroscientists, neurologists, clinicians, advanced graduate students, drug discovery researchers, as well as cellular and molecular biologists involved in ALS, motor neuron disease (MND) and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Vijay Kumar

Vijay Kumar, PhD, is an assistant professor at Amity University. He earned his PhD in Biophysics from AIIMS, New Delhi, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UMass Medical School, focusing on folding and aggregation of proteins such as SOD1 and TDP-43 implicated in motor neuron disease, ALS, and FTD. Returning to India, he served as Principal Investigator under the DST-SERB Young Scientist Scheme at Jamia Millia Islamia. His current research centers on protein folding, misfolding, and aggregation, and the role of toxic RNA species in neurodegenerative diseases. He is a member of the Protein Society, Indian Biophysical Society, Indian Academy of Neurosciences, and the International Society for Neurochemistry. He has held fellowships from CSIR and a DAAD fellowship in Germany.
