Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The failure of clinical trials in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease highlights the need to find alternative mechanisms of induction of these diseases. It is clear that beta-amyloid does not cause Alzheimer's disease and alpha-synuclein may not cause Parkinson's disease. In addition, newly discovered endocannabinoid-like molecules may provide new clues about the causes of autism, multiple sclerosis, and other CNS diseases.
This Special Issue aims to collect state-of-the-art breakthroughs including but not limited to the following topics:
- Blood brain barrier;
- Vascular permeability;
- Immune system activation;
- Oxidative stress;
- Endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid-like molecules;
- Alzheimer’s disease;
- Parkinson’s disease;
- Autism;
- Multiple sclerosis.
