Abstract
An increased understanding of the predisposing genetics and complex pathogenic mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease have facilitated delineation of the long preclinical course and re-invigorated the search for disease-modifying treatments. Establishment of accurate blood-based biomarkers has enabled preclinical identification of early disease and permits trials of preventative treatment and quantitative monitoring of therapeutic effects. The broad range of therapeutic possibilities encompasses gene editing, enzyme activators and inhibitors, antisense oligonucleotides, and antagonists of receptors for inflammatory mediators.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Medicine - "The Green Journal" - publishes original clinical research of interest to physicians in internal medicine, both in academia and community-based practice. AJM is the official journal of the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine, a prestigious group comprising internal medicine department chairs at more than 125 medical schools across the U.S. Each issue carries useful reviews as well as seminal articles of immediate interest to the practicing physician, including peer-reviewed, original scientific studies that have direct clinical significance and position papers on health care issues, medical education, and public policy.
