Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive decline and brain pathology involving amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Current drug development focuses on disease-modifying therapies, primarily antibodies targeting amyloid or tau. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses a challenge for drug delivery to the brain. Pre-and early clinical data suggests that Focused Ultrasound (FUS) technology safely enhances BBB permeability without damaging brain tissue, enabling drug delivery. This systematic review discusses the application of FUS to open the BBB for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We review the safety, efficacy, and potential biological effects of FUS-mediated BBB opening in AD patients.
期刊介绍：
The JPAD Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer’Disease will publish reviews, original research articles and short reports to improve our knowledge in the field of Alzheimer prevention including: neurosciences, biomarkers, imaging, epidemiology, public health, physical cognitive exercise, nutrition, risk and protective factors, drug development, trials design, and heath economic outcomes.JPAD will publish also the meeting abstracts from Clinical Trial on Alzheimer Disease (CTAD) and will be distributed both in paper and online version worldwide.We hope that JPAD with your contribution will play a role in the development of Alzheimer prevention.
