IBRO Neurosci Rep . 2023 Jan; 13:378-387. PMID: 36590096
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. Although it is clear that dopaminergic neurons degenerate, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unknown, and thus, successful treatment is still...

Int J Mol Sci . 2022 Dec; 23(23). PMID: 36499491
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by the presence of extracellular amyloid plaques in the brain. They are composed of aggregated amyloid beta-peptide (Aβ) misfolded into beta-sheets which are the cause...
