[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative condition of the central nervous system that primarily occurs in the elderly or pre-elderly. Its clinical manifestations are primarily progressive memory and cognitive impairment, as well as behavioral and personality abnormalities. The incidence of AD increases with age. As the aging population intensifies, the number of AD patients is projected to increase by approximately 40% to 78 million by 2030 and to 139 million by 2050, making it a major threat to humanity. Currently, there are no effective drugs or treatments for AD, making the development of detection methods and related drugs crucial.
