Alzheimer’s Disease: Understanding Its Novel Drug Delivery Systems and Treatments

Around the world, there are no fewer than 24 million people who suffer from dementia. Through 2040, this number is expected to rise steadily every 20 years. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most prevalent kind of dementia, is characterised by a steady deterioration in cognitive function that most...

description Around the world, there are no fewer than 24 million people who suffer from dementia. Through 2040, this number is expected to rise steadily every 20 years. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most prevalent kind of dementia, is characterised by a steady deterioration in cognitive function that most often begins with memory loss. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is considered to be one of the leading causes of morbidity in the elderly. Around 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer's disease. Still, because AD is common in the older and greying population, its prevalence is expected to rise dramatically in the coming decades. As the disease progresses, people with Alzheimer’s disease frequently become dependent on caregivers. The Alzheimer's-diseased brain is characterised neuropathologically by diffuse and neuritic extracellular amyloid plaques, which are often ringed by dystrophic neurites and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. This particular disease is characterised by the presence of reactive microgliosis and the destruction of neurons, white matter, and synapses. The present review is done to study and learn about new treatments and novel drug delivery systems that may provide benefits to patients with AD. With the new drugs, treatments, constant care requirements, and lost productivity, Alzheimer’s has a substantial financial impact on society. Therefore, better management and therapy are crucial. In this overview, we will briefly go through the current knowledge base about AD, covering the functions of beta-amyloid, tau proteins, and stem cell therapy, and elaborating on novel diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
