Autophagy-lysosomal pathway in neurodegeneration

Autophagy-Lysosomal Pathway (ALP) dysfunction has emerged as a prominent mechanism underlying neurodegenerative disease. Given its central role in facilitating cellular clearance of misfolded proteins, damaged organelles and other cellular debris, the ALP is vital for cellular health and survival. In mature neurons, wh...

New insights on microglial lysosomal acidification: A therapeutic target of neurodegenerative diseases.

BACKGROUND Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), maintain brain homeostasis and respond to pathological insults. Microglial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple scle...

Microglial dysfunction and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in Alzheimer’s disease: mechanistic insights into neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressively debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ), tau pathology, synaptopathy, and neuron loss. Recent studies suggest that Neuroinflammation is a critical part of the disease process rather than an accompanying feature of the menti...
