Abstract: Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, have a high prevalence for which there are no effective treatments. Chronic neuroinflammation represents one of the most relevant pathological characteristics. Mast cells (MCs) are important in triggering chronic inflammation in the nervous system and in the glial-immune communication, releasing inflammatory mediators, neurotrophic factors, and proteases, and disrupting the blood-brain barrier.
