Association of micronucleus frequency with neurodegenerative diseases.
Micronuclei (MNi) can originate either from chromosome breakage or chromosome malsegregation events and are therefore ideal biomarkers to investigate genomic instability. Studies in peripheral lymphocytes of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, mainly Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), revealed an increased micronucleus (MN) frequency in both disorders but originating m...

متن کاملP 155: The Roles of Microglia in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Microglia is a type of glial cell located throughout the central nervous system (CNS), which is sensitive to CNS injury and disease. Responsibility of microglia as the resident macrophage cells for injuries suggests that these cells have the potential to act as diagnostic markers of disease beginning or progression. Function of Microglia is strongly synchronized by the microenvironment of brain...
