Astrocytes, a Promising Opportunity to Control the Progress of Parkinson's Disease

At present, there is no efficient treatment to prevent the evolution of Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is generated by the concurrent activity of multiple factors, which is a serious obstacle for the development of etio-pathogenic treatments. Astrocytes may act on most factors involved in PD and the promotion of their neuroprotection activity may be particularly suitable to prevent the onset and progression of this basal ganglia (BG) disorder. The main causes proposed for PD, the ability of astrocytes to control these causes, and the procedures that can be used to promote the neuroprotective action of astrocytes will be commented upon, here.

Currently, there is no efficient treatment to prevent the evolution of Parkinson's disease, which is generated by the concurrent activity of multiple factors, posing a serious obstacle for the development of etio-pathogenic treatments. Astrocytes may play a key role in controlling the main causes of PD and promoting their neuroprotection activity to prevent the onset and progression of this basal ganglia disorder.
