Neurodegenerative Research

Neurodegenerative research investigates diseases that cause the gradual loss of brain and nerve cell functions, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s. Scientists study how these diseases develop at the molecular and cellular levels to uncover causes and identify potential treatments. This research involves understanding genetic factors, abnormal protein build-up, inflammation, and other processes that damage neurons. The goal is to find ways to slow, stop, or reverse nerve cell deterioration, ultimately improving quality of life for affected individuals and advancing potential cures through innovative therapies.
