Abstract

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most frequent cause of dementia in aged population. Till now, there is no effective treatment for AD. Now various studies have kinked AD to mitochondrial dysfunction, due to accumulation of Aβaggregates, neurofibrillary tangles, cholinergic transmission, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation causing neurodegeneration and cognitive decline seen in AD. Here in this article, how the mitochondrial dysfunction/dynamics are involved in the pathogenesis of cognitive decline seen in cases of AD and various therapeutics targeted against mitochondrial dysfunctions are described, thereby causing a ray of hope for preventing progression of AD.
