Abstract
The study of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), has long been a complex and challenging task. One of the major hurdles in understanding these diseases is the difficulty in recapitulating the complex interactions between neurons, astrocytes, and microglia in a laboratory setting. In recent years, researchers have made significant progress in developing triculture models that combine these three cell types, allowing for a more accurate representation of the cellular context of the human brain. This commentary discusses the recent advancements and importance of using tri-culture model systems in clarifying the pathophysiology of AD and discusses the recent article by Kim et al. (2024) published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
长期以来,对阿尔茨海默病(AD)等神经退行性疾病的研究一直是一项复杂而富有挑战性的任务。理解这些疾病的主要障碍之一是难以在实验室环境中重现神经元、星形胶质细胞和小胶质细胞之间复杂的相互作用。近年来,研究人员在开发结合这三种细胞类型的三培养模型方面取得了重大进展,从而能够更准确地再现人脑的细胞环境。本评论将讨论三培养模型系统在阐明阿尔茨海默病病理生理学方面的最新进展和重要性,并讨论 Kim 等人(2024 年)最近在《阿尔茨海默病杂志》(Journal of Alzheimer's Disease)上发表的文章。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Alzheimer''s Disease (JAD) is an international multidisciplinary journal to facilitate progress in understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, genetics, behavior, treatment and psychology of Alzheimer''s disease. The journal publishes research reports, reviews, short communications, hypotheses, ethics reviews, book reviews, and letters-to-the-editor. The journal is dedicated to providing an open forum for original research that will expedite our fundamental understanding of Alzheimer''s disease.
