[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with progressive cognitive impairment as the main clinical manifestation. A large number of neuroinflammatory plaques (Neuriteplaques, NP) accumulate outside the cells, intracellular Abnormal deposition of β-amyloid peptide (β-amyloidpeptide, Aβ), formation of neurofibrillary tangles (neurofibrillary tangle, NFT) and loss of synapses or neurons are the main neuropathological features of AD.
