Description

International authorities here investigate research into the prion diseases which include Scrapie of sheep, BSE the “Mad Cow” disease, and CJD one of the human diseases. The role of metals in these diseases has become of great importance, linking it with some of the changes in Alzheimer’s disease. The book focuses on the metabolism of copper and manganese which are found in these diseases. It stems from proceedings of the international workshop at Christ’s College, Cambridge in 2001.
