Neurodegenerative diseases encompass a number of very heterogeneous disorders, primarily characterized by neuronal loss and concomitant decline in neurological function. Examples this type clinical condition are Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Huntington's Disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Age has been identified as major risk the etiology these which explains their increased incidence developed countries. Unfortunately, despite continued intensive efforts, no cure yet found for any diseases; reliable markers that allow an early diagnosis disease identification key molecular events leading to onset progression lacking. Altered adult neurogenesis appears precede appearance severe symptoms. Given scarcity human samples considerable differences with model species, increasingly complex stem-cell-based models being developed. These shedding light on alterations contribute development, facilitating new targets providing screening platform testing candidate drugs. Moreover, secretome other promising features cell types explored, use them replacement cells high plasticity or co-adjuvant therapy combinatorial treatments.
