Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is a prevailing type of dementia, presents a significant global health concern. The current therapies do not meet clinical expectations. Amyloid-beta (Aβ) has been found to induce endogenous formaldehyde (FA) accumulation by inactivating FA dehydrogenase (FDH); in turn, excessive FA triggers Aβ aggregation that eventually leads to AD onset. Hence, scavenging FA by astaxanthin (ATX,...
