neurodegeneration

2 articles

Neurodegeneration refers to the progressive loss and death of cells, a process well-studied in animal nervous systems but also relevant to analogous cell degradation pathways in plants. In plant biology, researchers study related cellular processes such as programmed cell death, protein aggregation, and proteostasis mechanisms that parallel neurodegenerative pathways, offering insights into how plants respond to stress, aging, and disease. Understanding these conserved molecular mechanisms can illuminate fundamental biology shared across kingdoms and may inform strategies for improving plant resilience.
