Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the top public health challenges facing the Western world and developing countries due to ever-increasing aging population [1]. There is, however, no effective means to prevent or to treat AD. There have been more than 100 drug trials targeting specific AD pathogenic mechanisms since 1998, all of which have failed [2]. Since AD is a complex disease involving multiple interrelating pathogenic mechanisms, redirecting therapeutic strategies to simultaneously target multiple pathogenic mechanisms may increase the likelihood of success.
