Immunotherapies for Neurologic Diseases, Volume 214 explores how neuroimmunotherapies intervene by targeting key molecules and pathways responsible for tissue damage in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The book details approved treatments that modulate T-cell signaling, antigen presentation, B cells and their trophic factors, autoantibodies, Fc receptors, complement, cytokines, and cell adhesion molecules. Each chapter includes clear explanations and illustrations, helping clinicians understand the mechanisms of these drugs in autoimmune neurological diseases. The volume serves as a practical and comprehensive guide, making complex therapeutic approaches accessible to medical professionals and students.The second section highlights the latest therapies for major autoimmune neurological diseases, offering step-by-step algorithms and escalation strategies for selecting optimal treatments. Controversies and uncertainties in therapy choices are discussed by leading experts, while additional chapters address emerging immunotherapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases and the evolving concept of treating autoimmune pain. The book also covers practical applications of traditional immunosuppressants, IVIg, and targeted monoclonal antibodies, with dedicated chapters on conditions such as encephalitis, NMOSD, multiple sclerosis, and stiff person syndrome.
