Article Synopsis
- There is increasing evidence linking neurodegeneration and inflammation to age-associated diseases like Alzheimer's disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
- A systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the diagnostic accuracy of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α) in identifying MCI was conducted using various medical databases.
- The results showed that while IL-10 levels were higher in MCI patients compared to healthy controls, the overall findings did not strongly support the use of these inflammatory biomarkers for MCI detection, highlighting the need for more research in this area.
