Protein Misfolding in Neurodegenerative Diseases is a comprehensive review of proteome homeostasis in neurons, and in the brain. Beginning with an introduction on factors involved in the formation and aggregation of misfolded proteins, chapters then discuss the precise cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in these processes and their role in neurodegeneration and disease. Additional topics of focus include protein clearance mechanisms like protein quality control, disease-modifiers, molecular druggable targets, novel therapeutics, and emerging techniques that block or delay disease onset or progression. This volume is relevant for researchers working with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and more.

Polycomb Group Proteins is a comprehensive volume detailing the mechanisms that are key to the management of genome function in many different contexts, from embryonic stem cells to terminal differentiation. The book discusses the regulation of cell lineages, cell proliferation, apoptosis, X chromosome inactivation, and most major genome programming choices. In the last few years, the biochemical understanding of PRC1-type complexes has greatly expanded in terms of the number of components involved and the intricacies of their interactions. The functionalities of these various complexes and their components are not all well understood, but recent work has shown an important division of labor and roles in the recruitment of stable binding in the ability to lay the groundwork of histone modifications and in the epigenetic maintenance of repressed states. In an effort to provide clarity in this topical research area, the book provides a cluster of chapters that deal with variant PRC1 complexes, their taxonomy, their components, their interactions, and what is known of their functions.
