Turmeric and Curcumin for Neurological Disease examines protective mechanisms of turmeric products and novel nanotechnological therapeutics and biomaterial design strategies to circumvent Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Liver Diseases. Numerous unresolved major drawbacks of the existing therapeutic strategies using curcumin and nanotechnology in disease treatment are highlighted and possible future perspectives to overcome current challenges discussed. Neurodegenerative and Liver Diseases pose a serious threat to the health care systems worldwide and nanotechnology to date has not been as successful in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases as it has for other diseases. This book will cover the increasing need to develop different delivery systems for bioactive compounds such as curcumin and summarize relevant research in one handy reference. The therapeutic efficacy of curcumin, numerous drug delivery systems designed to load curcumin, their challenges, and future perspectives will all be discussed.
