Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease: mechanisms and emerging therapeutic targets

A “cellular state–pathological network–therapeutic window” framework is proposed and the roles of microglia in amyloid-β plaque seeding and compaction, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, mitochondrial DNA–cGAS–STING signaling, complement-mediated synaptic engulfment, and bidirectional microglia–tau feedback are systematica...

Microglial dysfunction and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in Alzheimer’s disease: mechanistic insights into neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressively debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ), tau pathology, synaptopathy, and neuron loss. Recent studies suggest that Neuroinflammation is a critical part of the disease process rather than an accompanying feature of the menti...

Pyroptosis in Alzheimer's disease: Mechanisms and neuroinflammatory networks.

Overall, pyroptosis provides a novel framework for understanding the interplay between neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in AD; however, its cell-type-specific roles, stage-dependent effects, and translational potential remain to be fully elucidated.
