RESUMEN
Objective Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a brain neural degenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive and memory impairment. The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease remains unclear and there has been no effective treatment up to now. Autophagy plays an important role in clearing abnormally accumulated proteins and damaged organelles and in maintaining intracellular homeostasis and cell metabolism. This paper reviewed the role of autophagy in treatment of Alzheimer's disease, hoping to provide reference for discovering new treatment target for Alzheimer's disease.
