Promoting the clearance of neurotoxic proteins in neurodegenerative disorders of ageing
2018
Neurodegenerative disorders of ageing such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease and Huntington disease are characterized by the presence of neurotoxic misfolded and aggregated proteins. One reason underlying the accumulation of these proteins is insufficient clearance by intracellular and extracellular pathways such as the autophagic–lysosomal network and the glymph system. This article reviews the potential for therapeutically enhancing the clearance of neurotoxic proteins to curtail the onset and slow the progression of neurodegenerative disorders of ageing.
