Ion Channels and Neurodegenerative Disease Aging Related

Many neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s Huntington’s multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral and age-related disorders are caused due to altered function or mutation in ion channels. Ion channels important maintaining cell homeostasis because they affect membrane potential play a critical role neurotransmitter secretion. As result, it appears that antiaging therapy strategy should consider treating at the same time focusing on identifying common target among biological processes implicated aging. In this chapter, we will go over some of fundamental ideas channel aging, well an overview how operate most aging-related disorders.
