The most common and well-researched age-related neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and so forth, are associated with the aggregation of proteins into harmful solid deposits in the brain, usually also associated with a secondary halo of toxic and out of place molecules. Some few proteins can misfold or become altered by post-translational modifications in ways that encourage other molecules of the same protein to become altered in the same way, and join together to form growing structures.
