The growing proportion of ageing individuals in our society is affected by late onset diseases including neurodegenerative disorders. The reasons why age is the main risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease are still unknown. Are there common mechanisms in the cellular dysfunction that is associated with normal ageing and neurodegenerative disease? Are there common mechanisms between early and late onset forms of dementia and motor dysfunction and how do they relate to the processes that underlie ageing? A better understanding of the molecular basis of both ageing and neurodegenerative diseases will likely lead us to new
therapeutic and preventive strategies.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
