Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive condition that causes the degeneration of nerve cells, leading to a decline in cognitive abilities and memory impairment, significantly affecting millions around the globe. The primary pathological feature of AD is the buildup of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in the brain, which has become a major target for therapeutic strategies. This thorough review examines the progress made in next-generation therapies that concentrate on monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) aimed at Aβ. We explore how these antibodies function, their effectiveness in clinical settings, and their safety profiles, specifically discussing notable mAbs, such as aducanumab, donanemab, lecanemab, etc. This review also addresses the difficulties related to Aβ-- targeted treatments. Furthermore, it examines the advancing field of biomarker development and tailored medicine strategies designed to improve the accuracy of AD treatment. By integrating the latest findings from clinical trials and new research, this review offers an in-depth evaluation of the possibilities and challenges associated with mAbs in modifying the progression of AD. Future considerations regarding combination therapies and novel drug delivery methods are also examined, emphasizing the necessity for ongoing research to achieve significant advancements in managing AD. Through this review, we seek to provide clinicians, researchers, and policymakers with insights into the current landscape and future directions of Aβ-targeted therapies, promoting a deeper understanding of their role in addressing AD.

期刊介绍： Current Protein & Peptide Science publishes full-length/mini review articles on specific aspects involving proteins, peptides, and interactions between the enzymes, the binding interactions of hormones and their receptors; the properties of transcription factors and other molecules that regulate gene expression; the reactions leading to the immune response; the process of signal transduction; the structure and function of proteins involved in the cytoskeleton and molecular motors; the properties of membrane channels and transporters; and the generation and storage of metabolic energy. In addition, reviews of experimental studies of protein folding and design are given special emphasis. Manuscripts submitted to Current Protein and Peptide Science should cover a field by discussing research from the leading laboratories in a field and should pose questions for future studies. Original papers, research articles and letter articles/short communications are not considered for publication in Current Protein & Peptide Science.
