Combined immunotherapy with “anti-insulin resistance” therapy as a novel therapeutic strategy against neurodegenerative diseases
Abstract Protein aggregation is a pathological hallmark of and may play a central role in the neurotoxicity in age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Accordingly, inhibiting aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins, including amyloid β and α-synu...
