Neurodegenerative disorders

The mechanism of astrocytic autophagy plasticity plays a crucial role in AD. When the autophagy-regulating genes (LC3B and SQSTM1) in astrocytes are activated, Aβ is efficiently removed, which is important for cognitive recovery.

New brain cell cleaner: astrocytes raise possibility of Alzheimer’s disease treatment

Japanese researchers studied the effects of locally administered ASOs on mouse models of Parkinson's disease. Their research indicates that ASOs can help prevent the formation and spread of harmful alpha-synuclein aggregates in different brain regions, suggesting ASOs as a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing and controlling the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
