Unraveling the Burden of Iron in Neurodegeneration: Intersections with Amyloid Beta Peptide Pathology
Iron overload is a hallmark of many neurodegenerative processes such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases. Unbound iron accumulated as a consequence of brain aging is highly reactive with water and oxygen and produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) or free radicals. ROS are toxic co...
