Neuro degeneration is the umbrella term for the progressive loss of structure and function of neurons, including death of neurons. Many neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson‘s, Alzheimer‘s, and Huntington‘s occur as a result of neurodegenerative processes. As research progresses, many similarities appear which relate these diseases to one another on a sub-cellular level
The greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases is aging. Mitochondrial DNA mutations as well as oxidative stress both contribute to aging. Protein degradation offers therapeutic options both in preventing the synthesis and degradation of irregular proteins.
Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's. But drug and non-drug treatments may help with both cognitive and behavioural symptoms. Researchers are looking for new treatments to alter the course of the disease and improve the quality of life for people with dementia.
