Book excerpt: The need for effective therapy to treat Alzheimer’s disease is greater than ever, but there is still no drug therapy that can stop or reverse the progression of the disease.

This book investigates these targets and examines ongoing strategies to develop effective therapies for this devastating neurodegenerative condition.
