Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

640
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Immunology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common age-related dementia.
  • Cognitive impairment in VaD stems from cerebral damage due to insufficient blood flow.
  • Microglia are increasingly recognized for their involvement in VaD pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of microglia's role in neuroinflammation within VaD.
  • To summarize common animal and cell models used in VaD research.
  • To discuss potential therapeutic strategies targeting microglia in VaD.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on microglia functions in VaD.
  • Summary of animal and cell models for VaD research.
  • Analysis of microglia's role in neuroinflammation.

Main Results:

  • Microglia contribute to VaD through multifactorial mechanisms.
  • Key microglia functions include chemotaxis, secretion, and phagocytosis.
  • Microglia interact with other neurovascular unit cells, influencing VaD.

Conclusions:

  • Microglia are central to neuroinflammation in VaD.
  • Targeting microglia-modulated neuroinflammation offers potential therapeutic avenues for VaD.
  • Further research into microglia functions is essential for effective VaD treatment.
