Abstract Amyloid β protein (Aβ) is the main component of neuritic plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and its accumulation has been considered as molecular driver pathogenesis progression. Aβ prime target for development AD therapy. However, repeated failures Aβ-targeted clinical trials have cast considerable doubt on amyloid cascade hypothesis whether drug followed correct course. recent successes targeted assuaged those doubts. In this review, we discussed evolution over last 30 years summarized application diagnosis modification. particular, extensively pitfalls, promises important unanswered questions regarding current anti-Aβ therapy, well strategies further study more feasible approaches optimization prevention treatment.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder; it the most common cause of dementia and has no treatment. It characterized by two pathological hallmarks, extracellular deposits amyloid beta (Aβ) intraneuronal Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Yet, those hallmarks do not explain full pathology seen with AD, suggesting involvement other mechanisms. Neuroinflammation could offer another explanation for progression disease. This review provides an overview recent advances on role immune cells' microglia astrocytes in neuroinflammation. In become reactive several mechanisms leading to release proinflammatory cytokines that further neuronal damage. We then provide updates neuroinflammation diagnostic markers investigational therapeutics currently clinical trials target

Among these risk connection between T2DM has been deeply studied. It suggested that mechanism linking both conditions insulin resistance. Insulin an important hormone regulates not only peripheral energy homeostasis but also brain functions, such cognition. desensitization, therefore, could impact normal function increasing developing neurodegenerative disorders in later life. Paradoxically, it demonstrated decreased neuronal signalling can have protective role aging protein-aggregation-associated diseases, case AD. This controversy fed by studies focused on signalling.

Background: Innate immunity is mediated by a variety of cell types, including microglia, macrophages, and neutrophils, serves as the immune system's first line defense. There are numerous pathways involved in innate immunity, interferon (IFN) pathway, TRK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) Janus kinase/signal transducer activator transcription (JAK/STAT) interleukin (IL) pathways, chemokine (CCR5), GSK signaling, Fas signaling. Summary: JAK/STAT one these important signaling this review focused on pathway only.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is increasingly prevalent and over 99% of drugs developed for AD have failed in clinical trials. A growing body literature suggests that potent inhibitors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) potential to improve cognitive performance. Objective: In this review, we summarize the evidence regarding TNF-α inhibition prevent function people at risk dementia. Methods: We conducted a review PubMed, screening all articles published before July 7, 2019 related TNF blocking agents curcumin (another inhibitor) context pathology. The keywords search included: AD, dementia, memory, cognition, TNF-α, inhibitors, etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, curcumin. Results: Three large epidemiology studies reported etanercept treated patients had 60 70% lower odds ratio (OR) developing AD. Two small-randomized control trials (RCTs) demonstrated an improvement performance with etanercept. Studies using animal models dementia also similar findings (etanercept, Theracurmin), which appeared cognition. small human RCT Theracurmin, well-absorbed form lowers showed enhanced decreased brain levels amyloid-β plaque tau tangles. Conclusion: targeted therapy biologically plausible approach preservation warrants larger prospective RCTs further investigate benefits populations
