A systems biology approach for studying neurodegenerative diseases

• Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), such as Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD), are among the leading causes of lost years of healthy life and exert a great strain on public healthcare systems. Despite being first described more than a century ago, no effective cure exists for AD or PD. Although extensively characterised at the molecular level, traditional neurodegeneration research remains marred by narrow-sense approaches surrounding amyloid beta (A beta), tau, and alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn). A systems biology approach enables the integration of multi-omics data and informs discovery of biomarkers, drug targets, and treatment strategies. Here, we present a comprehensive timeline of high-throughput data collection, and associated biotechnological advancements and computational analysis related to AD and PD. We hereby propose that a philosophical change in the definitions of AD and PD is now needed.
