Recent advances in understanding the roles of the enteric nervous system

Gut Microbiota, Gut-Brain axis, Parkinson's Disease /

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is a vast, mesh-like network of neurons and glia embedded within the bowel wall. Through its complex circuitry and neuronal diversity, the ENS is capable of functioning autonomously but is modulated by inputs from the central nervous system (CNS). The communication between […]

: The human lifespan has been significantly increased due to scientific advancements inthe management of disease; however, the health span of the aging population does not follow thesame trend. Aging is the major risk factor for multimorbidity that is derived from the progressiveloss of homeostasis, immunological and stem cell exhaustion, as well as exacerbated inflammationresponses.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) presents a common challenge for people all over the world and has become a major research hotspot due to the large population affected by the illness and the difficulty of clinical treatment. The prevalence of PD is increasing every year, the pathogenesis is complex, and the current treatment is ineffective. Therefore, it has

a critical appraisal Parkinson’s disease, the most common movement disorder, has a strong neuroinflammatory aspect. This is evident by increased pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum, and the presence of activated microglial cells, and inflammatory cytokines in the substantia nigra of post-mortem brains as well as cerebrospinal fluid of Parkinson’s disease patients. The central and peripheral

The influence of gut microbiota alteration on age-related neuroinflammation and cognitive decline

Butyrate, Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Gut Permeability / Leaky Gut, Short Chain Fatty Acids /

Recent emerging research on intestinal microbiota and its contribution to the central nervous system during health and disease has attracted significant attention. Age-related intestinal microbiota changes initiate brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Aging is one of the critical predisposing risk factors for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Maintaining a healthy gut microbiota is essential

The global prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease is steadily increasing due to the aging population. The lack of effective drugs against these neurodegenerative disorders makes it imperative to identify new strategies for their prevention and treatment. Recent studies have revealed that harnessing the power of the gut microbiota through modification of diet may

The gut microbiota is composed of several microbial strains, with diverse and variablecombinations in healthy and sick persons, changing at different stages of life. A healthy balancebetween host and gut microorganisms must be maintained in order to perform the normal physiological, metabolic, and immune functions and prevent disease development.

The identification of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is mainly dependent on motorsymptoms, while the non-motor symptoms exist even decades ahead of the PDdiagnosis. According to Braak’s hypothesis, the enteric plexus is the first affectedsite during the pathological development of PD, and gastrointestinal (GI) symptomsappear during the onset of the disease. Although GI symptoms decrease the lifequality
