Micronucleus frequency in buccal mucosa cells of patients with neurodegenerative diseases
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases show an increase in prevalence and incidence, with the most prominent example being Alzheimer’s disease. DNA damage has been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis, but the exact mechanisms remain elusive. We enrolled 425 participants with and without neurod...
