Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a significant health challenge worldwide, and the development of effective treatments necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its pathophysiology. Mouse models have been instrumental in offering insights into the crucial pathogenesis of AD. However, current models rarely recapitulate all aspects of AD pathology in patients; thus, translating the findings from mouse to human clinical trials has proved to be complex. In this review, we outline the development of some prevalently used AD mice, with a particular emphasis on the latest advances in newly generated models. In addition, we discuss the advantages and limitations in mouse models of AD and their applications in blood-based biomarkers. Finally, we speculate on potential future research directions.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)对全球健康构成了重大挑战,要开发有效的治疗方法,就必须全面了解其病理生理学。小鼠模型有助于深入了解阿尔茨海默病的关键发病机制。然而,目前的小鼠模型很少能再现 AD 患者病理的方方面面;因此,将小鼠模型的研究结果转化为人体临床试验证明是非常复杂的。在这篇综述中,我们概述了一些常用的 AD 小鼠的发展情况,并特别强调了新生成模型的最新进展。此外,我们还讨论了 AD 小鼠模型的优势和局限性及其在基于血液的生物标记物中的应用。最后,我们推测了未来潜在的研究方向。
期刊介绍:
Trends in Molecular Medicine (TMM) aims to offer concise and contextualized perspectives on the latest research advancing biomedical science toward better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. It focuses on research at the intersection of basic biology and clinical research, covering new concepts in human biology and pathology with clear implications for diagnostics and therapy. TMM reviews bridge the gap between bench and bedside, discussing research from preclinical studies to patient-enrolled trials. The major themes include disease mechanisms, tools and technologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics, with a preference for articles relevant to multiple themes. TMM serves as a platform for discussion, pushing traditional boundaries and fostering collaboration between scientists and clinicians. The journal seeks to publish provocative and authoritative articles that are also accessible to a broad audience, inspiring new directions in molecular medicine to enhance human health.
