Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive impairments such as memory loss and executive dysfunction. The primary pathological features of AD include the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, the hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins leading to neurofibrillary tangles, disruptions of neuronal and synaptic functions, and chronic inflammatory responses. These multifactorial interactions drive disease progression. To date, various therapeutic agents targeting these pathological mechanisms have been developed. This article provides a comprehensive review of the pathogenesis of AD, recent advances in drug development targeting different pathways, current challenges, and future directions, aiming to offer valuable insights for clinical treatment and research.
