Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by two pathological hallmarks:β-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. It is the most common type of dementia and a common disease of the elderly. The pathogenesis of AD is related to multiple risk factors, pathways and molecular mechanisms. Because AD is a disease that is currently widespread in the elderly, it is essential to figure out pharmaceutical strategy for AD in order for aged people to get healthy and quality life. There is no treatment method that can completely cure AD right now, but there are various treatment strategies. This article reviews briefly the past and recent important findings of pathogenesis and treatment strategies of AD.
