Short description:

Sustainable Use of Plants and their Products in Neurodegenerative Diseases Management addresses the prevalence and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, and the roles of phytoconstituents in mitigating the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Long description:

Neurodegenerative illnesses have negative impacts on the central and peripheral nervous system, which in turn affect the brain health. Sustainable Use of Plants and their Products in Neurodegenerative Diseases Management addresses the prevalence and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, and the roles of phytoconstituents in mitigating the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. It provides a molecular understanding of the pathophysiology underpinning neurodegenerative diseases, the role of herbal/plant products and their phytoconstituents in the treatment of these diseases, and practical strategies to prevent these pathological conditions.

Features

• Contains the latest molecular and cellular-based research findings on medicinal plants in brain health and neurodegenerative diseases


• Explains practical strategies to prevent neurodegenerative diseases using medicinal plants and their phytoconstituents

Sustainable Use of Plants and their Products in Neurodegenerative Diseases Management will open up new research areas for academia and scientists; enhance the studies of students in pharmacognosy, medical, pharmaceuticals, biomedical, biological sciences and other related fields of studies; and enable traditional healers and clinicians to make recommendations for their neurological patients.
