Parkinson’s/ALS Reviewed by NeuroPerspective


NI Research has released the November/December 2021 issue of NeuroPerspective, which features comprehensive reviews for two major neurodegenerative disorders: Parkinson’s and ALS. These reviews include a consideration of the current thinking around pathophysiology and therapeutic targets, including the protein aggregates considered to be associated with these disorders: Alpha-synuclein, TDP-43, SOD1, and c9orf72.  Neuroinflammation, GBA as a target, LRRK2, the gut-brain microbiome, autophagy, and other mechanisms of current interest are included.
