Microglia is emerging as a key player in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. In pediatric neurodegenerative diseases like mucopolysaccharidosis type III (MPSIII), the progressive accumulation of abnormal glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) induces a severe neuroinflammation by triggering a microgli...
Neural cells are under immense pressure to maintain proper degradation of molecules using their endo-lysosomal pathway (ELP). In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the gradual cognitive worsening of this age-related disorder is partially due to dysfunction of the ELP. However, AD is a complex disorder and ho...
