Degenerative disease
Degenerative disease is the result of a continuous process based on degenerative cell changes, affecting
organs, which will increasingly deteriorate over time.[1]
In neurodegenerative diseases, cells of the central nervous system stop working or die via
cancers).[1]
Many degenerative diseases exist and some are related to
viruses, poisons or other chemicals. The cause may also be unknown.[3]
Some degenerative diseases can be cured. In those that can not, it may be possible to alleviate the symptoms.[1]

- Alzheimer's disease (AD)[5]
- Ankylosing Spondylitis
- Lou Gehrig's disease)
- Cancers[1]
