Advance in the use of gold nanoparticles in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases: new perspectives

摘要

Various conditions affecting nerve cells and the nervous system due to the loss of neurons and their connecting networks are described under the superordinate phrase“Neurodegenerative diseases”.Such diseases lead to disability due to gradual neuronal death in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.While many of these diseases have unknown causes,sometimes these are due to medical conditions such as alcoholism,a tumor,or a stroke,or other causes which may include genetic mutations,toxins,chemicals,and viruses.
