Neurodegeneration Mechanisms Trend 2026

Neurodegeneration mechanisms are the biological processes driving neuron loss in diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, and ALS. These include protein misfolding, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. Researchers use these pathways to identify drug targets and biomarkers for early diagnosis. Ultimately, patients benefit from more precise therapies, while clinicians gain tools to slow disease progression and improve quality of life.
