How Aging Drives Alzheimer's Disease: A Molecular Roadmap

This review explains how aging accelerates Alzheimer's disease by disrupting multiple biological systems—from amyloid clearance to immune function to circadian rhythms.

This review explains how aging accelerates Alzheimer's disease by disrupting multiple biological systems—from amyloid clearance to immune function to circadian rhythms. The authors propose that targeting aging mechanisms themselves, rather than individual AD symptoms, could …
