Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia around the world. Although the pathological mechanism of AD is not fully established, the deposition of beta-amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and inflammation have been characterized to be involved in AD’s pathology. Diagnosis of AD has been developed not only based on clinical criteria but also take the advantage of biomarkers imaging and fluid test. Currently, while the treatment of AD only focuses on the symptomatic therapy, more advanced trials that under the guidance of pathology are under development. Here, we will first summary the current hypothesis of AD’s pathological mechanism and then review the diagnosis and treatment of AD and those methods developed in progress.
