Role of G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Microglial Activation: Implication in Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the prevalent neurodegenerative diseases associated with preferential loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc) and accumulation of α-synuclein in DA neurons. Even though the precise pathogenesis of PD is not clear, a large number of...

Role of G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Microglial Activation: Implication in Parkinson’s Disease
