Biomarker of Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease

Tsai-Wei Liu et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the recent advances in the research on inflammatory biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD) detection, as well as monitoring disease progression and treatment response. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and pathological processes of PD, and various anti-inflammatory medications have demonstrated neuroprotective effects in in vivo or in vitro PD models.

Ten Unsolved Questions About Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease

Etienne C. Hirsch et al.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is a progressive and debilitating disorder with neuroinflammation playing a role in its pathophysiology. Research into the neuroinflammatory processes of Parkinson's disease is ongoing, with many unanswered questions still remaining to be explored for the development of effective treatments.

Andrographolide suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation in microglia through induction of parkin-mediated mitophagy in in-vitro and in-vivo models of Parkinson disease

Sahabuddin Ahmed et al.

Summary: The communication between microglia activation and dopaminergic neuronal loss plays an important role in the progression of Parkinson's disease. Studying the NLRP3 inflammasome activation and its relation to mitochondrial dysfunction in microglia could provide insights into potential strategies to control neurodegeneration. Mitophagy regulation through Andrographolide treatment may help inhibit NLRP3 activation and rescue dopaminergic neuron loss.

Neurodegenerative Disease and the NLRP3 Inflammasome

Jonathan A. Holbrook et al.

Summary: The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases is increasing, characterized by progressive neuronal loss, protein aggregation, metabolic abnormalities, and immune dysregulation. Research has shown that low-grade systemic inflammation may impact the development and progression of these diseases, and inflammation may also be a causative factor.

Targeting Microglial α-Synuclein/TLRs/NF-kappaB/NLRP3 Inflammasome Axis in Parkinson's Disease

Yunna Li et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that the excessive activation of microglia and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). The elevated level of NLRP3 inflammasome in activated microglia in the substantia nigra of PD patients exacerbates the pathology and accelerates disease progression. Current therapeutic drugs for PD primarily focus on relieving clinical symptoms, as there are no established strategies to stop or reverse the disease.

The Contribution of Microglia to Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease

Katja Badanjak et al.

Summary: With the aging population, the incidence of Parkinson's disease is increasing, with inflammatory processes playing a major role in its pathology. Microglia have been shown to have a significant neuroprotective role in PD, and the progression of PD may be driven by a vicious cycle between dying neurons and microglia.
