Abstract

After decades of research, the etiology of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease is still mostly unknown. Recent findings indicate that the microorganisms in the human gut might be involved in neurodegenerative pathways. Here, we discuss an innovative groundbreaking bioengineering approach that could make a difference in this intriguing scenario.
