The Emerging Role of Microbial Extracellular Vesicles in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration
Medicine Bulletin, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 231-238, March 2026.ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders are increasingly viewed as systemic conditions shaped by interactions among peripheral immunity, microbiota, and the central nervous system. However, the mechanisms linking microbial activity to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration remain poorly defined.
