Abstract
Trehalose is a promising therapeutic candidate for Alzheimer's disease.
- Trehalose may induce autophagy, a process that helps clear misfolded proteins.
- It is associated with the clearance of amyloid-β and hyperphosphorylated tau, proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease.
- Emerging evidence suggests that trehalose has a wider range of molecular mechanisms.
- This broader profile could indicate a greater neuroprotective effect beyond just protein clearance.
