Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, Worcester, MA, USA.
Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), changes in intestinal microbiota and systemic inflammation are concomitant with neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. This has led to the theory of microbial communities or infections as being causative in the development of neuroinflammation and immunosenescence seen in AD. Our research has demonstrated a decreased taxonomic diversity and an increased abundance of pathobionts in the gut of AD patients (Haran, mBio 2019), which is sufficient to promote amyloid and tau deposition in a mouse model (Chen, Gut 2023).
