Cannabidiol: a promising drug for neurodegenerative disorders?
Neurodegenerative diseases represent, nowadays, one of the main causes of death in the industrialized country. They are characterized by a loss of neurons in particular regions of the nervous system. It is believed that this nerve cell loss underlies the subsequent decline in cognitive and motor function that patients experience in these diseases. A range of mutant genes and environmental toxin...
متن کاملAutophagy and neurodegenerative disorders
Accumulation of aberrant proteins and inclusion bodies are hallmarks in most neurodegenerative diseases. Consequently, these aggregates within neurons lead to toxic effects, overproduction of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. Autophagy is a significant intracellular mechanism that removes damaged organelles and misfolded proteins in order to maintain cell homeostasis. Excessive or i...
متن کاملTau and neurodegenerative disorders.
The mechanisms that render tau a toxic agent are still unclear, although increasing evidence supports the assertion that alterations of tau can directly cause neuronal degeneration. In addition, it is unclear whether neurodegeneration in various tauopathies occurs via a common mechanism or that specific differences exist. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of tauopathies from benc...

متن کاملNeurodegenerative disorders and their treatment.
This Society for Medicines Research symposium was held on June 6, 2007, at the Eli Lilly Research Centre in Windlesham, Surrey, United Kingdom. The meeting, organized by Eric Karran and Alan Palmer, reviewed the progress made, and the challenges still to be overcome, in discovering safe and effective therapies for the most common chronic neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinso...
