Abstract:Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are increasing in prevalence as world populations age. While tremendous progress has been made, our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the development of these diseases remains far from complete. More troubling, despite the growing emotional and financial toll being taken by neurodegenerative disorders, existing treatment options are limited almost exclusively to those that help manage symptoms but that lack the ability to alter the progression of the disease (Liu et al., 2022).
