Zebrafish Models of Neurodegenerative Disorders

Advancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases demands innovative tools and approaches. Zebrafish Models in Neurodegenerative Disorders offers a comprehensive examination of zebrafish as a translational model for studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms of diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases. Beginning with the first section informing about the basic molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders, biomarkers, and therapeutic approaches, the book continues with the detailed exploration of zebrafish physiology, genetics, and behavioural phenotypes as they pertain to neurodegenerative pathologies; insight into cutting-edge technologies, including CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing; and in-depth analysis of zebrafish models, highlighting their strengths in modelling disease progression and therapeutic testing.
