Selected neurodegenerative disease and their therapeutic approaches.

Abstract

This thesis is about neurodegenerative diseases, which is debilitating and incurable, I focused on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases which are the most prevalent, affecting millions of people around the globe. It is characterized as a chronic and progressive disease, which results in the loss of neurons in different parts of the brain. This is a result of a combination of genomic, metabolic and also environmental factors, though the exact cause is unknown. Ageing is a significant risk factor. I discuss the conventional therapies as well as the potential further therapies in both diseases.
