Abstract
Dysregulation of autophagy may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
- Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
- Autophagy is involved in the degradation and recycling of cellular components.
- Recent findings suggest that impaired autophagy could influence the metabolism of amyloid beta and tau proteins.
- Current therapeutic strategies are being evaluated for their potential to modulate autophagic pathways in Alzheimer's disease.
