Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), tauopathies, and Lewy body dementia (LBD). It covers research on disease mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic strategies. Specific areas of interest include the role of protein aggregation (e.g., alpha-synuclein, tau), neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, lysosomal pathways, and the gut-brain axis. The journal also explores novel therapeutic approaches such as stem cell therapies, ketogenic diets, drug repurposing, and interventions targeting cellular processes like autophagy and axonal transport.
