Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognized as a crucial component in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The immune system's response within the central nervous system (CNS) plays a significant role in either protecting or damaging brain cells. Chronic neuroinflammation can contribute to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, promoting damage to neurons and supporting the toxic accumulation of proteins such as amyloid-beta and tau. Understanding the mechanisms of neuroinflammation and immune pathways is essential for identifying novel therapeutic targets and strategies to slow or halt disease progression.
