Alzheimer's Disease
A progressive neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects memory, thinking and behavior, and is the most common cause of dementia. Its pathological features include beta-amyloid plaques and tau protein neurofibrillary tangles.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Alzheimer's disease progresses slowly, and short-term cognitive improvement may be affected by multiple factors such as the placebo effect, changes in postoperative care or natural fluctuation.
A video shows that an Alzheimer's patient was able to answer questions after undergoing an experimental surgery.
In the video, the patient begins to recognize family members again after the surgery.
Alzheimer's research has experienced repeated failures in the past, with many promising directions ultimately failing.
The amyloid hypothesis has been the dominant theory in Alzheimer's drug development over the past nearly three decades.
Some studies have found that bilingual individuals may show symptoms of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer's disease an average of several years later than monolingual individuals.
Some elderly individuals whose brains anatomically exhibit severe Alzheimer's pathological features (such as amyloid plaque deposits) showed almost no obvious cognitive decline symptoms during their lifetime.
Many candidate drugs targeting Alzheimer's disease have failed in late-stage clinical trials.
