Role of autophagy and proteostasis in neurodegenerative diseases: Exploring the therapeutic interventions

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The present review explores the intricate relationship between autophagy and proteostasis in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases along with the therapeutic interventions to mitigate the same. Abstract Neurodegenerative disorders are devastating disorders characterized by gradual loss of neurons and cognition or mobility impairment. The common pathological features of these diseases are associated with the accumulation of misfolded or aggregation of proteins.

eBook: Breakthroughs in oncology research and drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

While the age-adjusted overall cancer death rate in the US fell by 33% between 1991 and 2020, cancer remains a significant threat to human health, with more than two million new cases expected to be diagnosed in 2024 and uneven progress across different cancer types 1. These figures demonstrate that the development of highly effective targeted therapeutics and immunotherapies is more important than ever, despite the astonishing rate of progress.
