Abstract

Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases are associated with cholinergic neuron loss and deterioration of bone mineral density. Gene therapy through either gene transfer, CRISPR gene editing, or CRISPR gene modulation holds the potential to cure Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. The emerging role of weight-bearing exercise in the prevention of, and care for, osteoporosis, obesity, and diabetes has been previously recognized. Moreover, endurance exercise offers a viable alternative to reduce amyloid peptides deposits while increasing bone mineral density in Alzheimer and Parkinson patients. β-amyloid peptides, α-synuclein, and tau aggregates start building up two decades before the onset of Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. Therefore, an early intervention program for the detection of these deposits is required to prevent or delay the onset of these diseases. This article spots light on the potential of gene therapy for Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases.
