Neuropharmacological Interventions in Alzheimer’s Disease: Current and Emerging Approaches

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with progressive cognitive decline, β-amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammatory responses. So far, the pathogenesis of AD has been explained by the cholinergic hypothesis, amyloid cascade hypothesis, and tau protein dys...

Reframing Alzheimer’s Disease Through a Redox-Metabolic Framework

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been conceptualised as a proteinopathy driven by amyloid-β plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau neurofibrillary tangles. AD should not be understood as exclusively a proteinopathy or a metabolic/redox disorder, but as a network of interacting processes in which metabolic dysfunction, mitocho...
