Resource overview
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s cause progressive neuron loss, impairing memory, cognition, and motor skills, while current treatments only relieve symptoms. Research is challenged by the blood-brain barrier and inadequate models that poorly mimic human disease. Advanced models such as iPSCs and 3D cultures enable personalized disease modeling, scalable drug testing, and more accurate brain-like structures, reducing ethical concerns.
