    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The Handbook of Parkinson’s Disease Mechanisms offers an integrated overview of the fundamental research devoted to understanding its causes and mechanisms, highlighting recent advances and clinical significance.?With a strong focus on cellular and animal model studies, this book also examines the etiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology and underlying symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

    Written with an interdisciplinary approach, this book provides thorough research that will be of interest to researchers, clinicians and graduate students interested in neurodegenerative diseases.

    • Integrates clinical and fundamental research
    • Includes cellular, organoid, and animal models of PD
    • Discusses dopamine, neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, tau, Lewy bodies, gut-brain axis, and more
