The Odyssey of Alpha-synuclein and Neuroinflammatory Mediators as Potential Candidates in the Aetiology of Parkinsons Disease
The neurodegenerative disorder Parkinson’s disease (PD) is hallmarked by the presence of cytoplasmic inclusions, Lewy body (LB) and ravaged dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc).
Glial Cell and Perineuronal Net Interactions in the Dorsal Striatum of Aged Mice
Elucidating how normal aging increases vulnerability to neurodegeneration remains a major gap in our understanding of disease risk and progression. The dorsal striatum serves as the primary input nucleus of the basal ganglia and is a key region implicated in multiple neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). In Colon et al. 2025, we examined the impact of normal aging on neuroinflammatory signaling and perineuronal net (PNN) homeostasis within the dorsal striatum.
