Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia in the elderly, with two main forms: sporadic (causes unclear) and familial (inherited through specific gene mutations).
- Key features of AD include the buildup of amyloid-beta peptides outside cells and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins inside cells.
- Recent research suggests a potential link between various viral infections (like herpes and HIV) and an increased risk of developing sporadic AD, prompting further studies into these connections.
