Neurodegenerative Diseases:
Recent research by National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS-TIFR) and other studies has revealed that neurodegenerative diseases may start long before symptoms appear, driven by blood vessel dysfunction and abnormal protein activity in the brain. This new understanding moves the focus from direct neuron damage to early vascular and molecular changes, paving the way for earlier diagnosis and prevention.Neurodegenerative Diseases are a group of disorders in which the brain and nerve cells (neurons) gradually break down or die over time. This leads to problems with memory, movement, speech, and other important body functions. These diseases usually get worse over time and currently have no complete cure, though treatments can help manage symptoms.
