摘要

In 1906,Dr.Alois Alzheimer reported a case of dementia and thought it was a new type of disease.Later,Dr.Emil Kraepelin named it Alzheimer's disease (AD).One hundred years later,AD has become the most common type of dementia affecting the elderly population and a heavy health burden.However,the pathogenesis of the disease remains unclear,and no disease-modifying therapies are available to prevent,halt,or even slow the progression of the disease [1].
