Neurodegenerative diseases are a collection of complex illnesses that manifest differently in each patient. They include Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, among others. Protein misfolding and aggregation is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease; researchers are learning more detail about this process by analyzing molecular interactions and thermal stability.
