Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegenerative diseases are a significant health crisis across the globe, marked by progressive neuronal damage leading to cognitive and motor impairments. Current therapeutic strategies have limited efficacy in preventing the disease progression, emphasising an urgent need for alternative therapeutic approaches and preventive approaches.
Recent evidence suggests that bioactive compounds from dietary and natural sources could significantly mitigate neurodegeneration, offering a ray of hope. Dietary compounds are known to modulate inflammatory signalling pathways.
Food plant extracts demonstrate protective effects by targeting oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and protein aggregation pathways. Future research holds immense potential to deepen our understanding of the complex relationship between diet, the central nervous system, and neurodegenerative mechanisms.
We invite you to submit your research to our Special Issue on "The Neuroprotective Activity of Natural Dietary Compounds" in the Nutrients journal, where we aim to explore the latest advancements in this field. Your research findings would be a valuable addition to this Special Issue, helping to advance the understanding of how dietary and natural components can protect neuronal health.
