Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by gradual loss of memory, cognitive functions, and behavioral changes. AD is the most common cause of dementia, affecting millions of people worldwide. Currently, there is no cure for AD, and treatment focuses primarily on managing symptoms and slowing down the progression of the disease. However, in recent years, stem cells have emerged as a potential new approach to treating AD, aiming to restore damaged neurons and improve cognitive functions https://stemplus.clinic/disease-treatment/alzheimers-disease/ The mechanisms of action of stem cells in the treatment of AD include several key aspects. Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into neurons and glial cells, replacing damaged or lost cells in the brain. Additionally, stem cells release neurotrophic factors, such as BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which promote the survival, growth, and differentiation of neurons. They can also stimulate neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to reorganize and form new connections. The immunomodulatory properties of stem cells can reduce chronic inflammation in the brain, which is considered one of the key factors in the development and progression of AD.
