Alzheimer's disease: Time to reassess research and clinical priorities

Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains one of the most pressing challenges in contemporary neurology, with growing evidence highlighting the limitations of the amyloid hypothesis and monomodal therapies. This editorial advocates for a shift toward multidimensional research and therapeutic frameworks that integrate molecular, electrophysiological, neuroimaging, and behavioral data. Emphasis is placed on the potential of microRNA-based biomarkers, electroencephalography (EEG) analysis, and non-invasive methods to improve early diagnosis. Emerging multimodal treatment strategies - including immunotherapy, neurostimulation, and nutraceuticals - are discussed alongside ethical and regulatory challenges in implementing novel interventions. The authors propose an integrated, patient-centered model that combines precision medicine with preventive approaches rooted in lifestyle, digital biomarkers, and AI-powered personalization. A paradigm shift toward systemic, translational, and ethically grounded strategies is urgently needed to meet the growing burden of AD.
