Modern neuroscience focuses on the fundamental role of non-neuronal cells, such as microglia, astrocytes and mastocytes, for central nervous system balance. Although they are not the primary cause of neurodegenerative diseases, these cells contribute significantly to the processes of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, accelerating neuronal damage and the evolution of the pathologies themselves.

Our research focuses on innovative strategies for modulating this cell activity and controlling oxidative stress, to preserve neuronal functions. This approach offers new opportunities for preventing and slowing the advancement of neurodegenerative processes and immunosenescence, thereby improving the quality of life of patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases.
