This book reviews the relevance of this axis to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Multiple sclerosis (MS). Various chapters discuss the effects of gut derived particles in various parts of brain and the targeting pathways leading to protein deposition in brain.
- Reviews the pathology and pathophysiology of gut derived neuropeptides in neurodegenerative disorders
- Discusses mechanism of gut derivatives on immune system
- Presents possible therapy mechanism using gut microbiome

Balachandar Vellingiri
Dr. Balachandar Vellingiri mainly works on neurological diseases and analyzing its genetic impact. He is working on various neurological diseases to investigate the molecular mechanism and developing human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs), and generating patient-derived Brain organoids as a promising disease model for various neurological diseases because understanding the inside mechanism of neurological diseases is always a difficult task. Exploring the cutting-edge molecular, cellular, and translational neuroscience approaches, he aims to unravel disease mechanisms, identify therapeutic targets, and develop innovative interventions to slow or reverse neurological diseases. He is well-expertise in techniques such as molecular cytogenetics, pathway analysis, and techniques in developing HiPSCs and Brain organoids, especially for neurological diseases. He has published over 100 research and review articles in various Internationally reputed SCI journals, 12 Book chapters and one book on Autism Spectrum Disorder.
