Progress made in human genetics has revealed increasingly more disease-associated genes for Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative disorders. These discoveries have linked neurodegenerative diseases with several common key biological processes that now need further study. At the same time, tremendous strides have been made in microglial research, revealing unexpected results that challenge the traditional view of microglia as simply scavengers of the diseased CNS. The aims to conferences on "Advances in Neurodegenerative Disease Research and Therapy" and "New Frontiers in Neuroinflammation" were to:
