What Are Neurodegenerative Diseases and Their Therapeutic Targets?
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are characterized by the progressive loss of neuronal function. Histological studies of brain tissues reveal the accumulation of abnormal protein aggregates, such as amyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles in Alzheimer's disease. Targeting these aggregates with therapeutic agents aims to slow down or halt disease progression.
