Parkinson's disease involves the progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons, producing tremor, rigidity, and impaired movement that worsen over time.

Parkinson's Disease
Progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons affecting movement.
Medication replaces or mimics dopamine to manage symptoms; it does not slow the underlying neuronal loss.
Regenerative research explores neuroprotection and modulation of the neural environment to support remaining neuronal function.
