Immunomodulation induced by central nervous system‐related peptides as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative disorders

Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) are disorders characterized by the progressive loss of neurons affecting motor, sensory, and/or cognitive functions. The incidence of these diseases is increasing and has a great impact due to their high morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, current therap...
