This book presents a comprehensive exploration of Alzheimer's disease, covering its discovery, epidemiology, and the biological principles behind it, as well as advanced stem cell therapies for treatment. It offers a global perspective, incorporating epidemiological data and scientific insights from various countries. As a rapidly growing issue affecting populations worldwide, this work stands out as the first comprehensive resource on Alzheimer's, featuring the latest literature and advancements in dementia research. Unlike many existing books that primarily provide practical advice for caregivers, this volume serves as a popular science text accessible to anyone interested in understanding the disease. Co-author Dr. Jefferson Chen MD, PhD, brings a unique perspective, having participated in the world's first surgical clinical trial using shunts for Alzheimer's treatment and having experience with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's. This book is designed to engage a broad audience, regardless of their scientific or educational background, making it an essential resource for those seeking to learn more about Alzheimer's disease.
