jections) or as an opportunity—a delay in the onset of these conditions by, say, 5-10 years would dramatically reduce their incidence and therefore costs. Individuals have realised that if they are lucky enough to side step or survive cancer and vascular disease the next threat is neurodegeneration in its various guises.

متن کاملTreating the Periphery to Ameliorate Neurodegenerative Diseases
Abnormalities in the kynurenine pathway are associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Zwilling et al. (2011) show that inhibition of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase in the body's periphery leads to an increase in kyneuric acid, a neuroprotective compound, in the brain. This intervention ameliorates neurodegeneration in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease.
متن کاملExosomes: Future Perspective in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neurodegeneration is a progressive and irreversible loss of neuronal cells in specific regions of the brain. Alzheimer Diseases (AD) Parkinson Disease (PD) are the most common forms of neurodegenerative diseases in older people. Exosomes are extracellular nanovesicles that have a key role in physiological processes such as intercellular communication, cell migration, angiogenesis, and anti-tumo...
