Author(s): Vijay Shankar*
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) remains one of the most challenging and devastating neurodegenerative diseases affecting millions of individuals
worldwide. Characterized by progressive cognitive decline, memory loss and eventual impairment in daily activities, AD poses a significant burden
on patients, caregivers and healthcare systems. While much research has been devoted to understanding the underlying mechanisms of AD,
effective therapeutic interventions that halt or reverse its progression remain elusive. Among the pathological hallmarks of AD are the accumulation
of beta-amyloid plaques and the formation of Neurofibrillary Tangles (NFTs) primarily composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein. While amyloidbeta
targeting strategies have been a major focus of drug development, recent attention has shifted towards emerging therapeutic approaches
targeting tau patholo.. Read More»
