Emerging Role of Genetic Alterations Affecting Exosome Biology in Neurodegenerative Diseases
23 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
The abnormal deposition of proteins in brain tissue is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) often accompanied by the spread of mutated proteins, causing neuronal toxicity. Exosomes play a fundamental role on their releasing in extracellular space after endosomal pathway activation, allowing to remove protein aggregates by lysosomal degradation or their inclusion into multivesicular bodies (MVBs),...
