Abstract

Neurodegenerative diseases represent the most common cause of dementia. Protein aggregation is upstream in the pathological mechanisms and is a therapeutic target in the development of disease-modifying drugs in this patient population. Notably, α-synuclein or DNA-binding protein of 43kDa (TDP-43) is commonly involved in the pathomechanisms that contribute to non-Alzheimer neurodegenerative diseases. Several immunotherapy clinical trials on α-synuclein have progressed to phase 2, and small-molecule therapeutics are ongoing. With regard to TDP-43, immunotherapies that target protein aggregates are currently being developed, and research is underway to investigate several drugs that target the associated causative gene. Further research is warranted for deeper insight into both disease-modifying drugs; biomarker tests need to be developed to determine their efficacy. However, both proteins aggregate and accumulate in the brain in many neurodegenerative diseases and dementia; therefore, they are therapeutically significant, and future progress is expected in research and development.
