Neurodegenerative diseases remain some of the most difficult conditions to treat. Disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s gradually destroy brain cells, leaving people with worsening memory, movement problems, and few treatment options. Current therapies mostly ease symptoms, but they cannot restore the brain’s lost wiring. That is why scientists have placed such high hopes on stem cell research, a field that could one day help rebuild damage…
