Introduction Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), pose a major public health challenge due to their progressive nature and profound impact on patients and healthcare systems. Emerging evidence underscores the key role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and progression of these diseases. This paper examines the current state of knowledge on the impact of the gut microbiota on PD and AD, focusing on mechanisms such as modulation of inflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, neurotransmitter production and amyloid pathology.

Abstract:
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are both types of neurodegenerative diseases (ND) that lead to severe failure in the nervous system. Usually, AD and PD are caused by genetic or environmental factors, and patients of AD or PD suffer from life inconveniences. AD and PD are both the major causes of irreversible dementia and can be classified into familiar and sporadic. A greater proportion of patients get sporadic AD and PD, and there hasn’t been an effective treatment for the diseases. Widely discussed in the 21st century, it is believed that CRISPR-Cas9 gene therapy may be

Abstract:
Identifying biomarkers that distinguish Parkinson's disease (PD) from normal control (NC) individuals has the potential to increase diagnostic sensitivity for the detection of early-stage PD. A previous proteomic study identified potential biomarkers in postmortem ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (V-CSF) from neuropathologically diagnosed PD subjects lacking Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology. In the present study, we assessed these biomarkers as well as p-tau181, Aβ42, and S100B by ELISA in PD (n = 43) and NC (n = 49) cases. The p-tau181/Aβ42 ratio and ApoA-1 showed statistically signific

The role of exogenous factors in the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases has been shown in many works: on the effects of radiation, neurotoxicants, pesticides and other organic and inorganic substances. One of the interesting and promising areas for studying the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration is the analysis of the composition and ratio of trace elements in various tissues and organs of a person. The influence of trace elements on the development of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosi

Abstract:
Neurodegenerative disorders present a current challenge for accurate diagnosis and for providing precise prognostic information. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), may take several years to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Due to the increased aging population in developed countries, neurodegenerative diseases such as AD and PD have become more prevalent and thus new technologies and more accurate tests are needed to improve and accelerate the diagnostic procedure in the early stages of these diseases. Deep learning has shown significant promise in computer-assisted AD and PD

Many efforts have been made to trace the causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). There are, however, many points of controversy among reports from the same country as well as among reports from different countries. The current study is a case-control study to determine the risk factors in the development of AD in Greece. Sixty-five patients with AD and 69 age-matched controls were examined. All patients with AD fulfilled the DSM-IV criteria for AD and NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for probable AD.

Researchers disagree as to whether Lewy body disease (LBD) constitutes a variant of Alzheimer's (AD) or Parkinson's disease (PD), or alternatively, whether it is an independent disease process. The neuropathological, genetic, and clinical characteristics of LBD are reviewed and compared to those of AD and PD. Data for 150 cases of LBD reported in the literature were compiled and grouped according to neuropathological status.

Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington’s disease (HD), and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), pose a significant medical, social, financial, and scientific challenge. Recent data suggests that many of these illnesses have aberrant neuronal calcium (Ca2+) transmission. Normal aging causes alterations in neuronal Ca2+ signaling that are similar but less drastic. Here, we address the dysregulation of calcium in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, a

Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Both diseases share common clinical and pathological features: the gradual progression of neurological and psychiatric symptoms caused by neuronal dysfunction and neuronal cell death due to the accumulation of misfolded and neurotoxic proteins. Furthermore, both of them are multifactorial diseases in which both genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to the disease course. Non-genetic factors are of particular interest for the development of preventive and therapeutic approaches for

Abstract:
AbstractLewy body‐involving diseases (LBD) are commonly associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) featuring voluntary movement inhibition, due to dopaminergic neuron dysfunction in the substantia nigra. PD is clinically tracked through Lewy bodies (LB), composed of insoluble α‐synuclein aggregates sequestered with organelles, particularly inside neurons. However, α‐synuclein pathology also appears in incidental LBD, Parkinson's disease dementia, and dementia with LB (DLB).
