Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and accounts for 60–70 % of all cases. It affects millions of people worldwide. AD poses a substantial economic burden on societies and healthcare systems. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired daily functioning. As the prevalence of AD continues to increase, understanding its pathogenesis, improving diagnostic methods, and developing effective therapeutics have become paramount. This comprehensive review delves into the intricate mechanisms underlying AD, explores the current state of diagnostic techniques, and examines emerging therapeutic strategies. By revealing the complexities of AD, this review aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge surrounding this devastating disease.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是痴呆症最常见的病因,占所有病例的 60-70%。它影响着全球数百万人。阿尔茨海默病给社会和医疗系统造成了巨大的经济负担。注意力缺失症是一种进行性神经退行性疾病,以认知能力下降、记忆力减退和日常功能受损为特征。随着注意力缺失症发病率的不断上升,了解其发病机制、改进诊断方法和开发有效的治疗方法已变得至关重要。这本综合综述深入探讨了注意力缺失症的复杂机制,探讨了诊断技术的现状,并研究了新出现的治疗策略。通过揭示 AD 的复杂性,本综述旨在为围绕这一毁灭性疾病不断增长的知识体系做出贡献。
期刊介绍:
With the rise in average human life expectancy, the impact of ageing and age-related diseases on our society has become increasingly significant. Ageing research is now a focal point for numerous laboratories, encompassing leaders in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behavior. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) serves as a cornerstone in this field, addressing emerging trends.
ARR aims to fill a substantial gap by providing critical reviews and viewpoints on evolving discoveries concerning the mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases. The rapid progress in understanding the mechanisms controlling cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival is unveiling new insights into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells, and from energy to oxyradical metabolism, we are witnessing an exciting era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research.
The journal explores the cellular and molecular foundations of interventions that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction. It identifies the underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, shedding light on novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases. ARR publishes articles on focused topics selected from the expansive field of ageing research, with a particular emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process. This includes age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. The journal also covers applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention, offering a comprehensive platform for advancing our understanding of this critical field.
