NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDERS
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive conditions that result in the gradual decline of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord. This deterioration affects a person’s ability to move, think, and even perform basic daily tasks, as critical nerve cells are lost over time. Conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are among the most common neurodegenerative disorders. The impact of these diseases on both patients and families is profound, as they often lead to significant physical and cognitive disabilities, reducing quality of life and independence. Common Factors Contributing to Neurodegenerative Disorders:​
​
-
Genetic Predisposition
-
Environmental Toxins
-
Chronic Inflammation
-
Aging​
The ongoing research and development of therapies for neurodegenerative disorders bring hope for the future. Stem cell treatments, for instance, are being studied as potential therapies to replace or support damaged neurons, offering a new frontier in the quest to slow or even reverse the progression of these diseases.
By better understanding the underlying causes and contributing factors, researchers and clinicians strive to develop effective strategies to preserve neurological function and improve the quality of life for those affected.
