Iron (Fe) accumulation in specific brain areas and ferroptosis are associated with various neurodegenerative disorders. We have previously established an in vivo model of Fe overload (C57BL/6 mice treated with Fe 333 mg/...

Objective: To describe the Amyloid, Tau, Neurodegeneration (A/T/N) research framework classification in the Argentine-Alzheimer Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. Methods: 23 Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), 12 Alzhe...

BackgroundMutations in the PLA2G6 gene cause a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders, with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson’s disease (AREP) and dystonia-parkinsonism (DP) representing the two primary subtyp...

BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, leading to a spectrum of motor and non-motor symptoms. In addition to the motor deficits...

Coenzyme A (CoA) is a vital cofactor involved in energy metabolism, lipid biosynthesis, protein modification, and epigenetic regulation. Disruptions in CoA biosynthesis have been implicated in neurometabolic disorders su...

Myasthenia gravis (MG) has traditionally been conceptualized as a peripheral autoimmune disorder primarily mediated by autoantibodies targeting the neuromuscular junction. However, this classical paradigm fails to adequa...

Abstract Since the first report in 1972, several studies have documented an association between Parkinson’s disease (PD) and melanoma. Up to 20-fold increased risk of melanoma was reported in PD patients, while a perso...

Abstract Background Hyperglycemia, a hallmark of diabetes mellitus, is a metabolic condition that highly affects the nervous system. While evidence from epidemiological and animal studies links diabetes to dopaminergic d...

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) constitute a growing global health burden driven by population aging and remain without disease-modifying therapies. Although chronic neuroinflammation and aberrant protein aggregation ar...

Abstract Background Sodium fluoride (F) is ubiquitously present in the environment and affects animals’ and humans’ health. Nannochloropsis oculata (NO) is a microalga that contains bioactive components with a prefer...

Increased levels of α-synuclein (α-syn) and iron-overload are pathognomonic signs of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Moreover, iron and fatty acid (FA) availability are predisposing factors...

Abstract Mutations in the presenilin (PS/PSEN) genes cause early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by enhancing cerebral accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT). Ho...

Paraquat (PQ), a widely used bipyridyl herbicide, exerts neurotoxic effects on dopaminergic neurons and can lead to Parkinson’s disease (PD)-like syndrome. Although immune dysfunction has been implicated in PD progress...

Plants have emerged as a valuable source for neuroprotective compounds like flavonoids. These polyphenolic com pounds decrease neurotoxicity and the development of neurodegeneration. Potentiation of α7 nicotinic recepto...

Abstract Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disease considered a spontaneous model of human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Neuroinflammation occurs in both DM and ALS, and cross...

Abstract Mitochondrial diseases progressively lead to multisystemic failure with treatment options remaining extremely limited. Here, to investigate strategies that alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction, we first generate ...

Galectins are a family of evolutionarily conserved animal lectins with pleiotropic functions and widespread distribution. Fifteen members have been identified in a wide variety of cells and tissues. Through recognition o...

Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are two neurodegenerative diseases associated to mislocalization and aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43). To investigate in depth the b...

Abstract The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the peripheral synapse controlling muscle contraction. Although aging and neurodegeneration result in NMJ denervation and synaptic dismantling, early indicators of this proces...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by profound metabolic disturbances in the brain, yet how these alterations vary across brain regions and respond to neuroprotective intervention remains poorly understood. Here...

Abstract Ocular neovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, are characterized by abnormal angiogenesis, vascular leakage, and progressive retinal neurode...

Disrupted hippocampal performance underlies psychiatric comorbidities and cognitive impairments in patients with neurodegenerative disorders. To understand the contribution of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) to amyo...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration. Conventional MRI techniques lack specificity for ...
