Clinical neurorestorative progress in Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent type of dementia, and its neuropathology is characterized by the deposition of insoluble β-amyloid peptides and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles and the loss of diverse neurons. Although much is known about the neurobiology of AD, few treatments are available to arrest or slow the illness. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches for AD. We reviewed the recent improvements in the neurorastorlogy strategies for AD, including medicine, bioengineering and neuromodulation and clinical cell therapy. We emphasized that cell therapy may be an promising treatment for AD.
