And no scholar of contemporary East Asian history and culture is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the many contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China's boldest strategist. Once described by Mao Zedong as a "needle inside a ball of cotton," Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China's radical transformation in the late twentieth century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao's cult of personality, and loosened the economic and social policies that had stunted China's growth. Obsessed with modernization and technology, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty. Yet at the same time he answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in June 1989 at Tiananmen Square. Deng's youthful commitment to the Communist Party was cemented in Paris in the early 1920's, among a group of Chinese student-workers that also included Zhou Enlai. Deng returned home in 1927 to join the Chinese Revolution on the ground floor. In the fifty years of his tumultuous rise to power, he endured accusations, purges, and even exile before becoming China's preeminent leader from 1978 to 1989 and again in 1992. When he reached the top, Deng saw an opportunity to creatively destroy much of the economic system he had helped build for five decades as a loyal follower of Mao-and he did not hesitate. 606 $aHeads of state$zChina$vBiography 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1976-2002 615 0$aHeads of state 676 $a951.05092 676 $aB 700 $aVogel$b Ezra F$0161380 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957805703321 996 $aDeng Xiaoping and the transformation of China$94360257 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02620nam 2200469z- 450 001 9910227347103321 005 20210211 035 $a(CKB)4100000000883862 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/42833 035 $a(oapen)doab42833 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000000883862 100 $a20202102d2017 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aThe CB2 Cannabinoid System: A New Strategy in Neurodegenerative Disorder and Neuroinflammation 210 $cFrontiers Media SA$d2017 215 $a1 online resource (100 p.) 225 1 $aFrontiers Research Topics 311 08$a2-88945-223-9 330 $aThe neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the most common forms of dementia and no pharmacological treatments are to date available for these diseases. Indeed, the only used drugs are symptomatic and no useful to block the progression of the diseases. The lack of a therapeutic approach is also due to a lack of an early diagnosis. This Research Topic describes a new target that is involved in the firs step of these disorders and that can be useful for the treatment and the diagnosis of such pathologies: the cannabinoid receptor subtype 2 or CB2R. Indeed, CB2R is overexpressed in reactive microglia and activated astrocytes during neuroinflammation and thus their detection by PET probes can be an easily strategy for an early diagnosis of neurodegeneration. Moreover, CB2 agonists and inverse agonists displayed neuroprotective effects and they so can be candidated as new therapeutich drugs for the treatment of these pathologies. Therefore, the aim of this Research Topic is to show the great potential of CB2R ligands for the development of new tools/drugs for both the therapy and the diagnosis of neurodegeneration. 517 $aCB2 Cannabinoid System 606 $aNeurosciences$2bicssc 610 $aAD 610 $aCannabinod system 610 $aCB2 receptor 610 $aCB2R agonist 610 $aCB2R inverse 610 $aInflammation 610 $aneurodegeneration 610 $aPD 615 7$aNeurosciences 700 $aMarialessandra Contino$4auth$01304687 702 $aNicola A.
