In light of the rising evidence of the association between viral and bacterial infections and neurodegeneration,we aimed at revisiting the infectious hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease and analyzing the possible impli...
Estrogen produces several beneficial effects in healthy neurological tissues and exhibits cardioprotective effects.Hormone therapy has been widely used to treat menopausal estrogen deficiency for more than 80 years.De...
The dying-back hypothesis holds that the damage to neuromuscular junctions and distal axons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis occurs at the earliest stage of the disease.Previous basic studies have confirmed early dama...

Deposition of aggregated amyloid-β(Aβ)protein in the form of amyloid plaques is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.According to the amyloid hypothesis,Aβaggregation initiates a pathogenic cascade,eventu...
It has been already shown that Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by a prominent degeneration in substantia nigra (SN) neurons. Growing evidence suggests that there is a latent period of PD associated with sli...
Ca^2+ dysregulation is an early event observed in Alzheimer's disease(AD) patients preceding the presence of its clinical symptoms.Dysregulation of neuronalCa^2+ will cause synaptic loss and neuronal death,eventu...
