Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia, but the pathogenesis mechanism is still elusive. Advances in proteomics have uncovered key molecular mechanisms underlying AD, revealing a complex network of dysregulated pathways, including amyloid metabolism, tau pathology, apolipoprotein E (APOE), protein degradation, neuroinflammation, RNA splicing, metabolic dysregulation, and cognitive resilience. This review examines recent proteomic findings from AD brain tissues and biological fluids, highlighting potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. By examining the proteomic landscape of them, we aim to deepen our understanding of the disease and support developing precision medicine strategies for more effective interventions.

Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; biological pathway; biomarkers; mass spectrometry; proteomics.
