Le malattie degenerative rappresentano una delle sfide più complesse e urgenti per la società contemporanea, con un impatto che va ben oltre il solo ambito sanitario. Scientificamente, queste patologie coinvolgono processi progressivi e irreversibili che compromettono funzioni fondamentali del corpo e della mente, richiedendo cure continue, innovative e multidisciplinari. Socialmente, le malattie degenerative influenzano profondamente la qualità della vita delle persone colpite, delle loro famiglie e delle comunità, generando spesso un carico emotivo, economico e assistenziale considerevole. In un mondo che invecchia rapidamente, è indispensabile riconoscere non solo l’urgenza di investire nella ricerca e nella prevenzione, ma anche di sviluppare reti di supporto solidali e sistemi di cura inclusivi. Prendersi cura delle persone con malattie degenerative significa quindi non solo offrire assistenza medica, ma promuovere una cultura di rispetto, dignità e partecipazione attiva, affinché nessuno venga lasciato indietro. Questo impegno collettivo rappresenta un dovere etico e sociale imprescindibile per costruire una società più umana e resiliente.Medico Chirurgo, specialista in Endocrinologia, Professore ordinario di Biotecnologie Cellulari, Cellule Staminali e Scienze Cognitive presso l’Università di Bologna, Direttore Scientifico Fondazione IRET (Ozzano dell’Emilia) e del Montecatone Rehabilitation Institute (Imola) e Presidente del Comitato Scientifico di Fondazione Maratona Alzheimer (Mercato Saraceno).
