Research progress on the activation of complement system is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer′s disease
Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a common neurodegenerative disease,which is mainly caused by brain lesions.The activation of complement system plays an important role in the process of AD lesions.The activated complement can bind to cell membrane receptors and regulate downstream signals.Therefore,inhibiting complement activation provides a new idea for AD treatment.This article reviews the progress in the mechanism and drug development of complement activation in AD,which may provide a new perspective for the diagnosis,treatment and drug development of AD.
