This article provides an overview of recent research on neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, Huntington's disease, and diabetic neuropathy. The prevalence of these diseases is increasing, and current treatments only manage symptoms. The research discussed in the article focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration and developing more effective therapies. Topics covered include blood-based diagnostic kits, potential therapeutic approaches, molecular mechanisms of specific drugs, autophagy regulation, neuroprotective effects of andrographolide, and the effects of supplements and vitamin E on the nervous system. The goal of this research is to address the growing impact of neurodegenerative diseases and improve patient outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
