We explore the hypothesis that a potential explanation for the initiation of motor neuron disease is an unappreciated vulnerability in central nervous system defense,the direct delivery of neurotoxins into motor neuro...
Clinical data showed that patients with type 2 diabetes(T2D)are more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease(PD)than normal people[1].Particularly when patients are in the early stage of T2D,their risk of PD is seven t...
Fungi are important infectious disease-causing agents,but are often overlooked as environmental factors in disease.We review several lines of evidence that point to a potential fungal origin of sporadic amyotrophic la...
