ABSTRACT
This summary of recent contributions in the Biophysical Journal from 2020 to 2023 highlights new mechanistic insights into key biomechanical and biophysical aspects of neurodegeneration. Neurodegeneration encompasses complex diseases characterized by the progressive loss of neuronal function, often linked to protein accumulation and aggregation. Several factors, including mechanical properties and structural composition of brain tissue, formation of proteinaceous condensates within cells, and protein transport between cells, impact the loss of neural function.
