Abstrakt: | The complex network of factors that contribute to neurodegeneration have hampered the discovery of effective preventative measures. While much work has focused on brain-first therapeutics, it is becoming evident that physiological changes outside of the brain are the best target for early interventions. Specifically, myeloid cells, including peripheral macrophages and microglia, are a sensitive population of cells whose activity can directly impact neuronal health. Myeloid cell activity includes cytokine production, migration, debris clearance, and phagocytosis. Environmental measures that can modulate these activities range from toxin exposure to diet. However, one of the most influential mediators of myeloid fitness is the gut microenvironment. Here, we review the current data about the role of myeloid cells in gastrointestinal disorders, Parkinson's disease, dementia, and multiple sclerosis. We then delve into the gut microbiota modulating therapies available and clinical evidence for their use in neurodegeneration. Modulating lifestyle and environmental mediators of inflammation are one of the most promising interventions for neurodegeneration and a systematic and concerted effort to examine these factors in healthy aging is the next frontier.
