Deskripsi
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a primary cause of dementia, is rapidly emerging as one of the most financially taxing, lethal, and burdensome diseases of the 21st century. Increasing evidence suggests that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a key role in both the initiation and progression of AD. Recently, emerging evidence has demonstrated mitochondrial dysfunction, particular in microglia where precedes neuroinflammation in AD. Multiple signaling pathways are implicated in this process and pharmaceutical interventions are potentially involved in AD treatment. In this review, advance over the last five years in the signaling pathways and pharmaceutical interventions are summarized and it is proposed that targeting the signaling pathways in microglia with mitochondrial dysfunction could represent a novel direction for AD treatment.
