About

Neurodegeneration is the progressive loss of structure and function of neurons, leading to neuronal dysfunction, damage, and death. As an academic concept and research field, it investigates the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this process, such as protein misfolding, chronic neuroinflammation, and metabolic disturbances, which are characteristic features of neurodegenerative diseases and a major focus for elucidating pathogenesis and developing therapeutic strategies.
