Roles of Cytokines in Alzheimer’s Disease

This article review highlights the role of the neuroimmune system in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), focusing on cytokines. Proinflammatory cytokines worsen neuroinflammation and damage, while anti-inflammatory ones help protect the brain. Immune cells like microglia and astrocytes both clear harmful plaques and trigger inflammation. Issues with the brain’s waste-clearing system also contribute to AD. Cytokines are key players in AD and may offer new targets for treatment.
