alzheimers-research
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss, driven by mechanisms including amyloid plaque accumulation and neuroinflammation. Plant science intersects with Alzheimer's research through the discovery and study of bioactive plant compounds—such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids—that show potential as neuroprotective agents or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. This makes ethnobotany and phytochemistry valuable fields for identifying natural product candidates that may slow or mitigate neurodegeneration.
