Increasing clinical and preclinical evidences implicate gut microbiome (GM) dysbiosis as a key susceptibility factor for neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s diseases (PD). In recent years, neurodegenerative diseases have not been viewed as driven solely by defects in brain, and the role of GM in modulating the central nervous system function via gut-brain axis has attracted considerable interest. Encouraged by GM researches, the next-generation probiotics may lead to tangible impacts on the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. This review summarizes the current understandings of GM composition and characteristics associated with neurodegenerative diseases, and the demonstrations of molecules from GM affecting neurodegeneration. Particularly, applications of next-generation probiotics such as Clostridium butyricum, Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Bacteroides fragilis for remediation of neurodegenerative diseases are discussed. |
