P 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...
متن کاملA case of corticobasal degeneration presenting with alien limb syndrome.
Alien limb syndrome (ALS) is a very rare condition where the affected persons are not able to recognise the affected limb as their own, and regard it as being foreign or alien to them. We present a patient with ALS secondary to corticobasal degeneration, which is a rare neurodegenerative parkinsonian disorder. We discuss the clinical features, neuropathology and management of corticobasal degen...
متن کاملOxidative Changes and Possible Effects of Polymorphism of Antioxidant Enzymes in Neurodegenerative Disease
Frequency of neurodegenerative diseases increase significantly with the age. In the present, average age is increasing and the number of people over 60 years increases as well. Ageing is a physiological process; however it seems to be linked with an increasing risk of origin and development of several diseases including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s diseas...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent and aspartyl proteases in neurodegeneration and ageing in C. elegans.
Proteolytic mechanisms have been implicated in the process of ageing, and in many neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, which are most prevalent in old age. Simple model organisms such as the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, which offer the prowess of sophisticated genetic approaches, have contributed to...
متن کاملUsing C. elegans to discover therapeutic compounds for ageing-associated neurodegenerative diseases
Age-associated neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease are a major public health challenge, due to the demographic increase in the proportion of older individuals in society. However, the relatively few currently approved drugs for these conditions provide only symptomatic relief. A major goal of neurodegeneration research is therefore to identify potential new therapeutic compo...
متن کاملBrain protein oxidation in age-related neurodegenerative disorders that are associated with aggregated proteins.
Protein oxidation, one of a number of brain biomarkers of oxidative stress, is increased in several age-related neurodegenerative disorders or animal models thereof, including Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, prion disorders, such as Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, and alpha-synuclein disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and frontotemporal dementia. Each of these neurodegenerative disorde...
