Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases, encompassing a diverse range of inherited and sporadic disorders characterised by progressive loss of relatively discrete neuronal populations, are a significant and increasing challenge to human health and the global economy [1]. Despite significant advances in our understanding of the underlying ætiology of diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s, and intense efforts targeting the development of disease-modifying therapies for these disorders, for the majority of people living with neurodegenerative conditions the prognosis remains poor [2,3,4]. Improving our knowledge of the underlying causes of neuronal loss in these disorders with the goal of developing novel disease-modifying therapies is thus a top priority for research, patient and care-giver communities.
