متن کاملNovel Treatment Strategies for Neurological and Neurodegenerative Diseases
In recent years, preclinical and basic science efforts have resulted in significant advances in developing and testing novel preclinical models and assessing potential therapeutic agents. Many of these attempts have focused on neuroprotective strategies. The concept of neuroprotection is based on the assumption that neurodegenerative processes associated with disease and/or aging can be slowed,...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative diseases and therapeutic strategies using iron chelators.
This review will summarise the current state of our knowledge concerning the involvement of iron in various neurological diseases and the potential of therapy with iron chelators to retard the progression of the disease. We first discuss briefly the role of metal ions in brain function before outlining the way by which transition metal ions, such as iron and copper, can initiate neurodegenerati...
