Comment by Gloria Campioni (#VanoniLab_BtBs )
Our PhD student Valentina Artusa contributed to the publication of the article ‘Palmitoylethanolamide Modulation of Microglia Activation: Characterization of Mechanisms of Action and Implication for Its Neuroprotective Effects’, published on 17th March 2021 on the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. The aim of this work was to assess whether Palmitoylethanolamide, an endogenous lipid produced on demand by neurons and glial cells, could exert its neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects through the modulation of microglia reactive phenotypes. The results of this work suggest that Palmitoylethanolamide could be a useful drug to prevent the consequences of chronic neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disorders.
