Neuroprotection and Age-related disease
Neuroprotection is defined as the ability for a therapy to prevent neuronal cell death by intervening in and inhibiting the pathogenetic cascade that results in cell dysfunction and eventual death.
From: Blue Books of Neurology, 2010
Age-related diseases are illnesses and conditions that occur frequently in people as they get older.
Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disorder that causes brain cells to waste away (degenerate) and die. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia — a continuous decline in thinking, behavioral and social skills that disrupts a person's ability to function independently.
