Neurodegenerative Mechanisms of Multiple Sclerosis
نویسنده
چکیده
In 80% of all MS cases, patients suffer from relapsingremitting (RR) MS, which have clearly defined periods of neurological deficits followed by (partial) recovery [1]. In those RRMS patients, 65% of the disease cases gradually evolves into secondary progressive (SP) MS, with progressive permanent neurological deficits. In 20% of all MS cases, patients have a progressive disease course from onset, which are known as primary progressive (PP) MS.

Genus Boswellia as a new candidate for neurodegenerative disorders
Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by progressive loss of neurons, share common mechanisms such as apoptotic cell death, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Genus Boswellia is a genus in the Burseraceae family. It comprises several species traditionally used for treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, cerebral edema, chronic pain syndrome, gastrointestinal d...
متن کاملMaterials and Metabolites of Kynureinine Pathway in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Multiple Sclerosis
Abstract Background & aim: Kynurenine pathway (KP) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative disorders. In neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD) and Multiple sclerosis (MS), brain neurons are initially involved and gradually disappear. In the present review article, the ...

Neurodegenerative diseases are the hereditary and sporadic diseases which are characterized by progressive neuronal loss of the nervous system and are emerging as the leading cause of death, disabilities, and a socioeconomic burden due to an increase in life expectancy. There are many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, disease, amyotrophic lateral...
متن کاملThe Factors Associated With Olfactory Dysfunction in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: An impaired sense of smell has a remarkable impact on the quality of life. It is seen in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease. In this study, we assessed the olfactory function in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by Sniff Magnitude Test (SMT). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 48 patients with MS. A questionnaire, including demog...
متن کاملToll Like Receptor 2 and 4 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a T cell mediated autoimmune disease with unknown etiology. Appropriate MS therapeutic strategies need thorough understanding of both disease etiology and pathogenesis mechanisms. Ligation of TLR-2 and TLR-4 stimulates the production of several cytokines leading to CNS autoimmunity and neurodegenerative diseases. Objective: To find a relationship between M...
متن کاملO9: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Options in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system associated to myelin loss and neurodegeneration. Clinically patients suffer from diverse symptoms and face the risk to become wheelchair-bound. At the moment MS is incurable, thus there is an unmet need for therapeutic options.
