Therapeutic Impact of GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists on Parkinson's Disease: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT No disease‐modifying treatment exists for Parkinson's disease (PD). Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) have gained attention as promising candidates for neuroprotection, given documented expression of GLP‐1 receptors within the central nervous system and the contribution of brain insulin resistance to dopaminergic ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Potential of Ginkgo biloba Extract to Intervene in Chronic Inflammation‐Related Diseases
Chronic inflammation is a pathological mechanism underpinning many diseases. Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is well known for its anti‐inflammatory property. GBE and its active constituents have been shown to attenuate pro‐inflammatory cytokine production, suppress nuclear factor kappa B activation, restore redox homeostasis, and modulate disease‐relevant

Lewy bodies are surrounded by granulovacuolar degeneration bodies in dementia with Lewy bodies
Here, we report Lewy bodies (LBs) to be enriched for tau‐laden granulovacuolar degeneration bodies (GVBs), suggesting a potential mechanistic interface between α‐synuclein and tau pathology in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Abstract Lewy bodies (LBs), composed primarily of aggregated α‐synuclein (α‐syn), are the pathological hallmark of Lewy body ...

α‐Synuclein strain homogeneity in multiple system atrophy subtypes
Two different subtypes of multiple system atrophy are recognized: MSA‐C and MSA‐P. In this manuscript, Lau et al. investigate whether MSA‐C and MSA‐P are caused by different strains of α‐synuclein aggregates. By performing conformational fingerprinting experiments as well as in vitro and in vivo seeding assays, their findings suggest that both MSA‐C ...
