ROS Generation in Microglia: Understanding Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Neurodegenerative Disease

Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are a global public health burden with poorly understood aetiology. Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress (OS) are undoubtedly hallmarks of neurodegeneration, contributing to disease progression. Protein aggregation and neuronal damage resul...
