Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of neurodegenerative dementia that affects the elderly population. Nerve growth factor (NGF) contributes to the survival, regeneration and death of neurons during aging and in neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, research has shown that NGF is related to the pathology, mechanisms and symptoms of AD. Therefore, there is a need to summarize the new advancements in NGF research and its potential therapeutic implications in AD. In this review, we will focus on NGF distribution, production, and function; the interaction of Aβ and NGF; and the effect of different therapy methods on AD. In summary, we hope to describe the experimental and clinical data demonstrating the important roles of NGF for AD treatment.
