Current understanding of the glial response to disorders of the aging CNS
Abstract
In this special issue of Frontiers in Pharmacology, we have asked leading experts to comment and review the evidence that inflammatory cells play a leading role in the pathological processes underlying neurodegenerative disorders. We now seek to draw these various observations together into a conclusion, with the hope that this will inform further work in this area and result in the identification of new therapeutic targets that will have a disease modifying effect.
Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease; Huntington’s disease; Parkinson’s disease; inflammation; microglia; motorneuron disease.
