Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegenerative disorders are very common in aged people, which severely affect their quality life as well as that of their caretakers. Parkinson’s is one of the most common diseases in aged populations after Alzheimer’s disease. More than 10 million people have Parkinson’s around the globe. However, each year, more than 90,000 patients are diagnosed with PD alone in United States only. Incidences of Parkinson’s increases with age, mostly 65 years or older. Parkinsonian symptoms include motor (tremor, muscle stiffness, impaired balance, and coordination) as well as non-motor symptoms (speaking, swallowing, chewing, constipation, etc.). With disease progression and duration of treatment drugs, response also decreases, which results into very serious conditions for patients as well as for their caretakers.
This Special Issue will focus on the Parkinson’s disease research, specifically in the area of biomarker development for early detection and therapeutic progression, new active compounds, and molecular interventions for the treatment and management of Parkinson’s disease. Both original research papers and review papers are welcome.
