Alpha-1- Antitrypsin and the Serpins -- Alpha-1 Antitrypsin: The protein -- Misfolding and Polymerisation of Alpha1-Antitrypsin � Conformational Pathology and Therapeutic Targeting -- Managing the Adaptive Proteostatic Landscape: Restoring Resilience in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency -- United States Targeted Detection Program for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency -- Lung Disease of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency -- Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency: Role in Health and Disease -- Alpha-1 Antitrypsin as a Therapeutic Agents for Conditions not Associated with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency -- The Alpha-1 Constellation of Voluntary Health Organizations as a Paradigm for Confronting Other Rare Diseases.
This book offers a comprehensive overview of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, an inherited condition that leads to lung disease in adults and liver disease in adults and children. While it is a rare condition, the mechanisms underlying its clinical manifestations have been largely clarified. Specific treatment, however, is�available only for the lung disease that arises from the condition, thus necessitating continued research into new and alternative therapeutic solutions. The book discusses the biology of alpha-1 antitrypsin, protein misfolding and polymerization, and diagnosis and treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and its associated diseases.� It concludes with a discussion of �alpha-1 antitrypsin therapy in diseases not associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and the role�of healthcare organizations in the rare disease space. Written for pulmonary clinicians and scientists, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin: Role in Health and Disease is a valuable resource that sheds light on this rare disease.�.
