- Axons are critical for neuronal homeostasis and their dysfunction (axonopathy) is an early mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases.
- Axonopathy contributes to diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and ALS.
- Recent advances highlight axons as potential therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases.
- Key areas of focus include axonal transport, mitochondria, autophagy, and neurotrophic factors.
