Natural Molecules in Neuroprotection and Neurotoxicity

Natural Molecules in Neuroprotection and Neurotoxicity brings together research in the area of natural compounds and their dual effects of neuroprotection and neurotoxicity when interacting with brain cells. This two volume set is organized into four sections that address molecular mechanism underlying neuroprotection and neurotoxicity, neuroprotection mediated by natural molecules, neurotoxicity induced by natural compounds and nanotechnology-related strategies utilized in neuroprotection.Written by well-known researchers all over the world, chapters provide an in-depth analysis of numerous molecules, such as algae, plant and fungus-derived molecules, and comprehensively discuss their mechanisms of action and possible clinical applications. This set provides an essential reference for researchers and clinical scientists interested in the effects of natural compounds on the human health and disease.

"...Volume 1 deals with numerous natural endogenous and exogenous (including animal, vegetal-, fungal-, bactericidal, and marine-derived molecules) while Volume 2 covers natural molecules of plant origin and how they could act as neuroprotective agents especially in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases.... Renowned scientists experienced in research on the impact of natural molecules on health and disease have written all the chapters. The book has several colored illustrations which facilitate easy grasp of the subject. The book indeed covers vast knowledge in the field of natural molecules in neuroprotection and neurotoxicity. [E]asy to understand,... a valuable resource on the subject written by well-known researchers from all over the world.... [I]mmensely helpful,... quite unique." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Omer Iqbal, MD, FACC, FESC (Loyola University Medical Center)

Marcos Roberto de Oliveira, PhD earned his bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in 2005, followed by a master’s and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the same institution. He is currently a professor and coordinates research at UFRGS. His research focuses on the neuroprotection mediated by natural molecules and involves studies on mitochondrial physiology, redox biology, bioenergetics, and inflammation in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models.
