Abstract: Neuroinflammatory processes induce neuronal damage and underlie the onset of neurodegenerative pathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (Calsolaro and Edison, 2016). Several conditions, ranging from emotional stress to metabolic syndrome, including traumatic brain injury, chronic infections or gut microbiota disruption can cause or aggravate neuroinflammation. Moreover, aging is the major factor associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
