Cystatin C at the Crossroads: Unraveling a Multidimensional Biomarker in Alzheimer’s Disease and Cognitive Decline

2025-11-05

Abstract excerpt

Cystatin C (CysC) is increasingly recognized as a critical biomarker at the interface of neurodegeneration, metabolic health, and vascular pathology. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the role of CysC in cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease, leveraging findings from cross-sectional, longitudinal, genetic, and translational studies. CysC levels are modulated by genetic polymorphisms, pat...
