Key reasons for inadequate treatment include a lack of coordinated knowledge, few studies on BBB status in these diseases, and poorly designed therapies.
UNASSIGNED: This paper provides an overview of current research on neurometabolic disorders and therapeutic options, focusing on the treatment of neurological involvement. It highlights the limitations of existing therapies, describes innovative protocols recently developed, and explores new opportunities for therapy design and testing, some of which are already under investigation. The goal is to guide researchers toward innovative and potentially more effective treatments.
UNASSIGNED: Advancing research on neurometabolic diseases is crucial for designing effective treatment strategies. The field suffers from a lack of collaboration, and a strong collective effort is needed to enhance synergy, increase knowledge, and develop a new therapeutic paradigm for neurometabolic disorders.
