The Hidden History of Neurodegenerative Diseases and a Blueprint to Conquer Them

Beschreibung

For neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's there is no unifying biology, explaining why every attempt to cure them has failed. This book provides a blueprint for a new way of thinking, eliminating misleading diagnostic labels and enabling the development of effective therapies, one biological subtype at a time.
