Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and neuroinflammation, primarily mediated by microglia. In this study, we investigate the role of adenylate kinase 5 (AK5) in microglial function and its association with AD-related pathology. Analysis of brain tissues from AD patients and AD model mice revealed a significant reduction in AK5...
