Parkinson’s/ALS Reviewed By NeuroPerspective


NI Research has released the November/December 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, and c9orf72.  Neuroinflammation, GBA as a target, the gut-brain microbiome, and other mechanisms of current interest are included. Progress in the delineation of biomarkers and models is discussed.
