This paper discusses the emerging role of lipoxinA4 and inflammasome in neurodegeneration. In addition, the paper outlines the notion that low levels of stress can induce responses that may be protective against the pathogenic processes is a frontier area of neurobiological research focal to understanding and developing therapeutic approaches to neurodegenerative disorders. Herein, we discuss the potential therapeutic role of Coriolus versicolor, a mushroom (Coriolus-MRL), well known in China as Yun Zhi. We propose a potentially innovative treatment for AD and, possibly, other neurodegenerative conditions associated to neuroinflammation.
