Dexmedetomidine as a potential neuroprotective agent against Alzheimer’s disease: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic perspectives
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ), intracellular hyperphosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein tau and chronic neuroinflammation. At present, effective disease-modifying therapies for AD remain limited. Dexmedetomidine (Dex),...
